I tried a new meatloaf recipe from Quaker Oats replacing the bread crumbs with old fashioned rolled oats or quick oats. It came out quite good except for being a bit crumbly. I have seen other recipes using quick oats which are finer in texture. Maybe they would have made the meatloaf hang together better but I just used what I had on hand. Here is the recipe –

Since the meat loaf had to roast in the oven for almost an hour at 350F I zapped the potato halves in the microwave for 4 minutes to make up for the lower temperature and then stuck them in the oven with the meatloaf. They came out perfectly cooked.

Finally when the meatloaf and potato were done I sautéed the broccoli and cauliflower in a covered pan with 1/4 cup of water, a tablespoon of butter, and salt. After a few minutes I uncovered the pan letting the water evaporate and causing the vegetables to brown in the residual butter.

I served my plate with a puddle of ketchup which I love with baked potatoes and meatloaf. Excitingly we have enough meatloaf leftovers for lunch today!
