Ahh, meatloaf.

What *do* you get when you put together one five-pound roll of hamburger that needs to be used before it goes bad, one hungry Lunatic, and a nice day off?

A huge pan of meatloaf, that's what.

In case this actually turns out all right, here are the components:

5 lbs ground beef (rather too much fat on the fat/meat ratio, but hey)
3 packets onion soup/dip mix
4 eggs
1 pound or so of mixed frozen veggies
2 handfuls rolled oats

These were all mixed together, and now it's doing happy things in the oven at 350° F; it should be ready in half an hour. Mmmm. ...Or maybe somewhat longer, thanks to it taking up a whole cake pan...
