Hi Everyone! I hope you have a wonderful Thursday planned!

Today's recipe is one that I remember having as a kid. Mom always had oatmeal in the house and I remember her adding it to meatloaf. Just like Mom, I have it in the pantry but rarely use it for anything but a breakfast cereal. Enjoy!

Oatty Meatloaf

1 egg
1/4 cup milk
1 cup uncooked, non-instant oatmeal
1-1/2 lb. lean ground beef
1 medium, chopped onion
1 tsp. dried thyme
2 tbsp. Dijon mustard
1/2 cup chopped parsley or 3 tablespoons dried parsley
salt and fresh, cracked black pepper, to taste
1/2 cup barbecue sauce

Beat egg and add milk. Mix together. Pour over oatmeal and let sit for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. After oats have been soaked, add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. Form into a loaf and place on a baking sheet. Top meatloaf with barbecue sauce for added flavor.

Bake for 35-45 minutes or until brown and crusty on the outside.
