not really

naw it cant its crazii

naaaa it would be pretty gooey!!!! if you dont have bread crumbs... take a few pieces of bread put them in the oven on very low heat... to dry them out ... and crunch them up and you have bread crumbs

Yes it can but it will tatste a little different but it works i have done it

Yes. You can use oatmeal in a meatloaf. It will not have the same flavor as bread crumbs allow but it will be better for you.

i dont think so. but you can use crushed saltines.

I make mine with oatmeal.. its really good and more healthy

Yes it is better for you and i think it taste really great!! Good luck!!

yes, it can be done, all dried oatmeal does is to absorb the water in the ground meat, go slowly too much causes the finished product to burn easily. do not use all-ready cooked oatmeal, its too mushy. there are lots of recipes in commercial cookbooks that will show you the way. be generous with the spices and other ingredients

Using dry oatmeal in the mix is better and healthier than bread crumbs...also try adding a bit of Italian sausage in the mix for a spicier flavoured meatloaf

If you must use "Minute Oatmeal" Regular oatmeal takes too long to soften when substituting in a recipe. There are great recipes that use regular rolled oats however.

I often use oatmeal in my meatloaf or cracker crumbs.
