Crusty Mustard-Dill Meat Loaf

1 cup beef broth
    1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
    1 1/4 pounds meat loaf mix (ground beef, veal, and pork)
    1/2 cup minced onion
    1 large egg
    3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
    2 tablespoons coarse-grained Dijon mustard
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  Preheat oven to 450F. Mix 1/2 cup broth and oats in medium bowl. Let
 stand 5 minutes. Mix in meat, onion, egg, dill, mustard, salt, and
 pepper. Transfer mixture to rimmed baking sheet; shape into two
 3x6-inch rectangular loaves.
  Bake meat loaves until browned and cooked through and thermometer
 inserted into center registers 160F, about 25 minutes. Using large
 spatula, transfer loaves to platter. Place baking sheet directly atop
 2 burners. Add remaining 1/2 cup broth to sheet. Boil pan juices over
 high heat until reduced by half, scraping up browned bits, about 2
 minutes. Pour sauce over loaves and serve.
