- Set aside.
- Place hamburger in large bowl.
- Add eggs.
- Work eggs into hamburger with your hands, squeezing handsful until eggs are well mixed with the hamburger.
- The more you work the mixture, the better the meatloaf texture.
- Add oatmeal and continue working the mixture until the oatmeal is mixed evenly throughout.
- Pour the set aside soup mix over hamburger mixture, and again, work through with your hands.
- Place mixture in baking dish of your choice, and form into a loaf.
- Cover with lid or foil.
- Bake at 350*, BASTING OFTEN, until done.
- Bake covered for at least 1 hour.
- Check if done by slicing down the middle, if there is no pink meat, it's done.
- Note: If baking in a metal pan or roaster, grease the pan-- or the bottom of the meatloaf will, as Mom says,"get like shoe leather"!

Miss Kitty...thank you! What a great recipe. With your help I did substitute some bouillon cubes and dried onion & chives for the soup mix (to avoid the MSG). The oatmeal made this hold up so much better than bread crumbs...and please tell Mom I had no "shoe leather bottom". Basting was the key. This was even better the next day on a sandwich. Thanks again!

Hello from beautiful northwestern PA. I am a self-employed gardener, so it is kind of obvious that I love the outdoors. I am a single parent of a great 11 year old son named Ryan, he is my joy. I just turned the big 4-0 this year... and SURVIVED!!! In addition to my son, I am also raising 2 of my nephews (ages 13 & 6)... and my Mother ( she has lived with me since shortly after my Father passed away... and yes, we DO get along!!)We are a unique family, but we're happy(or maybe I mean "crazed"...LOL)! My favorite outside activities are working in the garden, and biking with my boys; favorite inside activity is baking, and trying new recipes out on the "guinea pigs"!! I love cookbooks and gardening books, and have a bunch of them... some old, and obscure, but very useful anyway.My biggest pet peeve is the mistreatment of children...makes my normally controlled red-head temper burn red-hot!! My passion is organic vegetable gardening... there is no place I would be than in my garden, growing safe, healthy food for my family.
