California Farm Oatmeal Meatloaf

I have been experimenting with oatmeal and mixes of ground meat to make meatloaf, instead of using breadcrumbs and panko. This dish is gluten free.

Oatmeal makes a juicier meatloaf that feels and tastes like real meat, once I preboiled and flavored the steel cut oats. So instead of a 50/50 mix of ground beef and pork, or beef and lamb, I made a 50/50 mix of ground lamb or pork with steel cut oatmeal. Delicious and economical.

I teach people at the farmers market to grow small scale fruits and vegetables. My grandparents and parents taught me growing, cooking and preserving home grown fruits and vegetables, eggs, meats and fish. I got certified by the University of California Master Gardener Program in 2005. I try to bring out the original flavor of ingredients, then add layers of spices, herbs and flavorings that enhance, not distort the taste. These are the global, organic and vegan family recipes we use.
