When I went to Duquesne, I lived in a dorm for 2 years and had a meal plan. I actually didn't gain the freshman 15, probably due to the fact that the food was really not that good, and most of my dinners consisted of a single bowl of cereal and milk.
However, for my junior year, I had an apartment with a pretty decent-sized college kitchen. My diet then consisted of brownies and ice cream and these amazing little meatloaves. I'd make a whole batch for myself, at least once a month, and eat them leftover for the whole week. Much to my surprise, I never tired of these, and still have cravings for them.
These really aren't like the standard boring meatloaf and gravy that people sometimes find repulsive. This is a great, sweet and savory recipe that most hamburger lovers will think are amazing!

- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, whisk together egg and milk. Stir in cheese, oats, onion, and salt. Crumble beef over the mixture and combine well. Don't be afraid to get in there and use your hands!

I like to serve mine with Au Gratin potatoes and fresh green beans!
