Meat Loaf With Oatmeal

Submitted by Chef #1574035

"This meatloaf is a family favorite. My children (9, 6, and 3) love it, too. I've shared this loaf with families who HATE meatloaf and they've all asked for the recipe. I use whatever organic ground pork or organic ground beef that I have on hand as long as I use at least 1# of each. Can be made into 1 large loaf or 2 small loafs."
