HARVEST MEATLOAF

Too many apples...so time to experiment! I had some delicious leftover Steel cut oatmeal from breakfast. This is a much healthier filler for meatloaf than the usual white bread. I also had some apples I just picked up from the orchard yesterday so I added a small apple. Fed this to my husband and son and, well, it is gone...
