Soak oats in milk in the bottom of a large mixing bowl
Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Oil a standard loaf pan.
Add other ingredients except for barbecue sauce to the oat-milk mixture in the large bowl. Mix everything together well. Press the mixture into the prepared loaf pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
Drain off any excess fat. Spread the barbecue sauce over the top of the loaf. Return the loaf to the oven for another 10 minutes, or until it registers an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
Let the loaf sit for 10 minutes. Remove from pan, slice, and serve warm.
Notes
Soaking the oats in milk helps to soften them as you assemble the other ingredients. They don't really need much time.
Check the centre of your loaf with a thermometer, and remove it from the oven when it's done but not overdone. Meatloaf that cooks too long dries out.
Your meatloaf should be ready to serve in about an hour, but the extra 10 minutes of resting time helps it to slice better.
