Marvelous Meat from Oatmeal

This is so good, I am already making menu ideas up. This is a recipe from World War II. I got the recipe from a video I saw on, I'mstillworking. This is an excellent idea especially when refrigeration is out or you just cannot afford meat.
/ imstillworkin
Recipe: (Mine is different)
1 cup of Oatmeal
5 tablespoon of dry egg powder reconstituted with 5 tablespoons of water
1 & 1/2 teaspoons of ground sage
1 & 1/2 heaping teaspoons of fennel
1/2 teaspoon ground rosemary
3/4 teaspoon parsley
1/2 heaping spoon of onion powder
1/2 teaspoon of celery salt
1/4 teaspoon celery seed
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 heaping teaspoon garlic minced or powder (we like garlic)
2-3 cups simmering beef stock (I made mine from bouillion)
Mix all the ingrediants up.
Form into patties
Easy fry in a ppan with a little oil (Just to tinge them a bit brown)
Add the beef broth.
Get it to boil and then turn it down to simmer a full 20 minutes
Pour off broth
Add oil to the pan and refry the patties til they are a nice color
Thats it.

Its been 6 years since I made this video and I still love this. Blessings to all you wonderful people.

[@cindyglass5827]

Debra Bain ... I am going to try this - sounds so Yummy !! tfs : )

[@sibellakingston52]

Oh wow, I LOVE your videos. Pleease make more?

[@mollysmith6055]

So glad you posted this, it could be the best way to have a fond memory of good old times when breakfast sausage was affordable. Thank you, Debra.

[@NothingToNoOneInParticular]

I love your recipe and have made it and loved it. I wish you'd come back Deb!We need you now more than ever!

[@adeleanderson3862]

Miss you!!

[@umstetter]

Ok, here's a tip for you! Make this an "in a jar" recipe. Put all the powdered ingredients in and all you have to do is add water. Change up the seasonings for Italian sausage, country sausage, etc. You could even mix up the dry ingredients for the gravy in an open baggie, toss that on top of the sausage and seal. When ready to cook use the rest of the liquid that you cooked the sausage in for the gravy "water". Premix the liquid for sausage and use that in place of the water for the eggs. :)

[@ozarkrose2865]

Oh my gosh I made this today not as sausage but for patties to use as chopped steak with brown gravy. It was so delicious I may never go back to regular meat. I used 3 cups oats 6 eggs. 1 teAspoon EACH onion powder, garlic powder, salt pepper, McCormick grill mate steak seasoning and taco bell fajita easoning. 1/2 teAspoon red pepper powder. I mixed and let stand for about 10 minutes. I followed cooking instructions but simmered the patties using 1 package onion soup mix 2 cubes been bouillon and 4 cups of water. I did do the last fry. These were so good my granddaughter loved them. I had saved a few patties and she asked me for one to eat cold and plain. I ate one too. They were delicious even cold and plain. Really! So everyone out there try the basic recipe and play with it. You will be a believer

[@oldtimemoviesonyoutube]

ozark rose Thank you so much for sharing your variation! Must try yours as well, and soon!!!

[@CharGC123]

I can't eat eggs so I added some flax meal as a binder and mixed the dry spices into a small amount of hot veggie broth that I then added to the oats. I let it sit for a while to cool, then air fried the patties. It worked great, but not sure if these would hold up in liquid as well.

[@susannminall7456]

I made this on Sunday. I made an Italian meatball version. My boys 19 and 25 didn't have a clue. They were shocked that it was made from oatmeal. Thank you for your guidance! Being I used dry spices I did what you suggest and let it sit in the fridge for 2 hours covered with plastic wrap. I place the golf ball size balls into a thinner than usual tomato sauce and simmered on low for 2 hrs. Served with pasta and garlic bread. What a wonderful meal we had. It was soooo good that we decided to make 3 weeknight meals meatless.

[@carolynmcgee3152]

what a great idea! I will have to try that!

[@lauracarpenter5283]

Deb, I tried the Oatmeal "sausage" patties and my husband and I were so surprised at how delicious they were! Thanks to you and Geniusinexile and Linda's pantry for the help on this. I thought you might like the idea I used a long time ago to stretch my ground beef. I cooked my wheat berries til tender and put them along with a can of kidney beans through a meat grinder. as they come through they look exactly like ground beef, with the complete protein of both the wheat and beans. The red kidney beans give it a "beef" color. This can be combined with ground beef as an extender or used on its own. It does have to be formed (like meatballs or patties) rather than loosely fried. I made meatloaf with it (mixed 1/2 and 1/2 with ground beef) and no one could tell the difference. I got this idea from an old Ensign magazine from the 70's.

[@debrabain5290]

I love this, thank you

[@deliverywynch1]

I have made this several times and I love it! I have found if I make a few batches ahead, without the eggs, for convenience, it tastes even better because the flavors get in the oatmeal better! Then all I have to do is dump it in a bowl and add the eggs for a quick breakfast.

[@pattiannepascual]

Thank you for the video!i don't eat any meat and can't wait to make this.I will use ground flax seeds instead of eggs,(1/3 cup hot water,3tblsp of flax seed powder,soak for 5 minutes). not only does this save money but it spares an animal horrendous suffering and death.

[@teresajudy7232]

As my Mum says: "Necessity - The Mother of Invention." She made Meatloaf for 8 with 1/2 lb of ground Beef and Oatmeal as a filler.

[@Cat607]

This is one of my very favorite videos. I can't count how many times I have watched and new ideas come to mind every time.

[@litag4532]

ok thats it! i`m trying this!! you have totally convinced me, i am a new sub. and have been amazed with your videos, i am trusting your thoughts, been a waitress/server half my life and i can always tell what some people are about, thankyou for being you!... good woman, keep it up, your making many happy and teaching much!! you go girl!!!

[@purplepoodles4154]

i just listen to this post again for maybe the fourth time. i just love hearing your voice and jokes. i miss you soo much

[@Over35andup]

I just made yours, Linda's and geniusinexille's recipe but added half cup of pulp from my masticating juicer (kale, beets, ginger and turmeric and a bit of cucumber and lemon juice) and I ground the oats and added a half cup extra of un-ground oats. I followed the rest of the recipe. The key is to let the patties sit after the second browning. OMG it was so good. I had it and flaxseed crackers and kale chips for lunch with about an ounce of extra sharp cheddar.I also made a fake milkshake by adding sugar-free vanilla pudding powder to my juice and shaking it in a jar. You can also put the juice in a blender with ice and the vanilla pudding powder. FYI one-eighth to one-quarter tsp.ground cloves helps to deepen the flavor, along with a tablespoon of worcester sauce

[@LyndseyMacPherson]

So glad I found this. If meat prices were bad in 2013, they're a slasher film in '22. Can't wait to try, and also to experiment with other flavour profiles.😋

[@329crys]

Oh my goodness I can't wait to try these...I have stopped buying breakfast sausage because it is so expensive. ..but I have plenty of oatmeal l..thanks so much for sharing. ...can't wait to see what else u come up with.

[@morganod]

Thanks, will try, I'm going to take a look at that WWII recipe site, I wonder if barley would work also, I love those old old recipes, I loaned from library, before the internet, now they are appearing online so great

[@perbain]

Me too! I love these. I have even slapped cheese on them and also chopped up some jalepeno and made hot sausage burgers. NO ONE KNEW! This was a great find I love. Try it! Cowabunga. I think this is my favorite video and the bread making.

[@marlakeebler5332]

Am going to try this. I have used oatmeal as a meat extender for years. It is great in meatloaf and just the other day took 1 lb of ground turkey with 1 cup oatmeal and made 7 burgers in my burger press. These are nice sized burgers and I froze them then vacuum sealed 2 to a package. Great for hubby and I. Can be used as burgers, salsbury steaks, sauted in tomatoes for little meatloafs, etc.

[@cbzombiequeen58]

i like your show.you are the first person to think about doing things without elec. alot of preppers use to much . like dough mixers. keep up the good work.

[@sister6302]

I made these they turned out just like sausage. I was amazed, I didn't have any fennel seeds either. I followed your directions, they didn't take any time after all. I had waffles and along with some maple syrup. that was a nice breakfast for me. Thank you, I watch your videos, thanks for the new recipe. I will be making this again and again. I am learning how to canned from your videos now {prepping}. Keep'em coming.

[@darrylsays2009]

0:35 "As most of y'all know I'm a super carnivirawrrr" Me: 😂. She's a very lovely woman tho. I would love to see more videos please.

[@bettyparrot2464]

She hasn't posted anything for such a long time, and we all miss her terribly.

[@AnnBearForFreedom]

I've been using this recipe for...oh, 'bout 23 years,lol. Found it while doing props research for a theatrical production, of all things. Let me give you a heads up: its also excellent as meatballs for sketti. Tweak the spices to be a lil more Italian, and its a real winner. Thanks for the reminder to use what we have...and this includes previous experience!

[@kquitberg4297]

Huh! Ingenious! My mom lived thru the depression and what she got out of it was she was never cutting up a chicken again!

[@groovinchick7661]

WOW__I can't wait to try this and surprise my husband. I wish I had found this recipe 9 months ago when he first lost his job. I will be trying this. Thank you for the great video.

[@idabee33]

I am so amazed at how good these are!

[@mataypar4]

I am very excited to try this out.Thanks for sharing it.Bringing the budget down it what I love!!! & tastes good.

[@perbain]

I really love this recipe. It is probably my number one food prep. I love it!

[@perbain]

I just love this stuff. I have been serving it to company and not many even looked at it any different. Keep the conversation lively and everyone will be happy and full.

[@perbain]

Ohhhhhh THANKYOU! I was wondering that very recipe. This has me thinking all kinds of things up for sure. Thank you a million times over.

[@AussieAngeS]

These are perfect. I'm definitely trying them out. Imstillworking's channel is a great channel amongst many others such as yours. You are all very knowledgeable. Thanks Bev. Xox

[@TheQraftyQomic]

Deb, I just love you :-) thanks for gently nudging me towards preparedness. Living on the west coast I really need to get it together. You rock!

[@bizziebee6088]

I tried this meatless sausage recipe and I was very impressed with the texture of the finished product! I have a bottle of sausage seasoning and I would have used that, but I couldn't locate it in the pantry so I had to ad lib where the seasonings were concerned. I used oregano instead of rosemary and I'm sure it would have tasted much better if I had the correct seasonings, or some commercial sausage seasoning. Next time I plan to add 1/2 tsp. of brown sugar to the recipe just for good measure. I asked my husband, "Would you like to try some World War II sausage?" And he replied. "Is it still good after all this time?" ha, ha.

[@perbain]

I made two batches after this. I had my kids try it. I put Mozzarella on one and melted it, put it on Italian roll with spaghetti sauce. They ate it all up. This is just great. Did I tell them it wasn't sausage? NOPE! They liked it. :) Thanks.

[@Topaz5866]

Oh, Deb, you did it again! That looked great, and I am looking forward to seeing what kind of recipes you whip up for us! I'm off to check ImSillWorkin's video too. As always, You're the Best!

[@gullwingstorm857]

Wow, I just made this. I turned the bouillon into gravy and couldn't stop eating. We don't do the breakfast sausage thing in Australia - but we will now. Very convincing. Thanks Perbain. I wish you'd come back.

[@mydarlinrose3271]

this seems really good for diabetics.thank you so much for sharing..my mind is blown away !!

[@ilovefabricandflowers8543]

You can also use left over porridge especially if you a bit low on eggs. I also use walnuts with oatmeal in the patties. My mum was a Seventh-day Adventist and she always made these a varieties of patties and another thing she made was something she called 'gluten steak'. She was an adventurous cook. She also made a patty out of old mashed potato and onion and it always tasted like chicken. I must have a hunt in her recipe's for you.

[@HazelJuanitaMillanHoffman]

I love fabric and flowers I would love a copy of your recipes.

[@denisemartinez6456]

oh yeah those kind of receipes are priceless! I'd love to have those myself. I'll have to have a looksie through vegey receipes.

[@Kimmies991]

I saw this vid on imstillworkins channel but have yet to try it. I think this is on my to do list now. :) I trust imstillworkins opinion on things, i feel she is very honest on how things turn out and saves a lot of us time. She's picky on taste, and I truly appreciate that! Great job Deb, can't wait to see what you come up with for recipies.

[@missmamtube]

Deb you and imstillworkin have a winner ! Thank you so much for sharing. Blessings !

[@Cat607]

This is wonderful. I have tried it with just sage and fennel, salt and pepper and using chicken broth, tasted more like sausage to me. I tried it with the beef broth and Italian spices and again with other spice mixes. Each change brings a little change. We like it for breakfast sausage and "beef patties" for sandwiches. Thanks

[@barbaraespinosa9820]

You are an Awesome person! Thanks for sharing your interests with us.

[@NewDaysOldWays1]

Thank you so much for posting this vid. It was a great base for me to try making veggie burgers out of them...I changed up the spices added diced, peppers, onions, carrots & mushrooms. They turned out great even my picky eater hubby loved them! Next time I make them, I will try making mock crab cakes...using dice onions, shredded zucchini and Old Bay seasoning. The possibilities are endless...thanks again

[@elka5768]

Thanks for posting the recipe. That helps a lot. Made mine with a little liquid smoke and maple syrup, turned out Great! Thanks Again! :)

[@harmonyzmyname]

I officially MUST make this! I am newly pescetarian, trying to transition to vegetarianism and I am so excited to try this for breakfast! :-)

[@davidinthedesert3532]

I recently learned to make hamburger from oatmeal and dry beans w/spices. Like you, it blew me away! It's been cheeseburgers here a lot lately. It works in spaghetti too. Now you've showed me sausage. I'll be trying it. If you'd like my cheapo hamburger recipe, let me know and I'll type it out for you.

[@arcticgypsy]

Why don't you just go ahead and share

[@arcticgypsy]

Please

[@demidalewis1099]

Hi David, I'd love a copy of your recipe if possible :)

[@denisemartinez6456]

Yes please, share your receipe! sounds great. Blessings y'all

[@callmecordelia1]

Watched this video and went straight to the kitchen to try them. They were great! Thanks so much for the recipe and the encouragement to try new things! :)

[@perbain]

So glad to hear you tried and liked them. That's what its all about!

[@stormiesgrand2002]

Thank You for doing this, I am one of your vegitarian subscribers, and it looks great. And I did love sausage more than any other meat when I did eat it.

[@bettynewman66]

Just found this video today. I was diagnosed with alpha-gal allergy a few montha ago and can no longer eat beef, pork or venison. I am heartbroken. I've learned to do a lot of things with ground chicken and have videos on that, and turkey sausage is ok, but I can't wait to try this! I sure miss my beef and pork! Thanks

[@perbain]

You are so welcome. I love these.

[@garliclover01]

Thanks for sharing, I first saw this in Linda's Pantry and am going to try both versions, I love spicy so will do extra red pepper and also garlic. I thought the idea of one of your subs saying to change the seasonings for the different types of sausage and putting it all in a jar, LOVE the idea, am very new to food storage.

[@katherder4450]

This is a great idea, I look forward to trying it.

[@sleepyhines]

I saw this video several months ago and decided to try. OMG, I could not tell the difference between this and meat sausage. I'm thinking this would substitute for beef also. Salisbury steak with beef bouillon. Yum,yum. Thanks Deb. hope you start putting more vids out when school is out!

[@bobean48]

oh I really enjoy your humor in your vids...you are not up tight....really laid back I like that.....

[@groovinchick7661]

tried it and liked it. Made it for some friends and they didn't know it wasn't really sausage. Thanks for the share. I love sausage but it hurts my stomach so this is a dream come true for me.

[@ThePeachyPrepper]

huh? that's a trip ...I cant eat oatmeal but I will try this with my TVP awesome thank you for sharing

[@kerry1963qld]

That looks fantastic ! thanks so much for sharing

[@perbain]

This is a real money saver and just a great tasting food. Thankyou

[@BakingNana]

Thanks to you, imstillworkin, and 225sage!!! Lookin' at a platter of "sausage" right now (minus a patty -- delicious!). Next...chicken-fried steak. I've cut that out of our menu to cut down on fat, but it looks like it'll be back in!! You guys are the BEST.

[@NanaTexSB]

This looks great, I have to try it. Thanks for sharing.

[@virginia7191]

Love this video! Can't wait to try it! Thanks!

[@karenrichardson6767]

Looks great, I think I will try as is first and then try it with some black beans added to the oatmeal for a higher protein content.

[@LindasPantry]

Oh my goodness I am going to have to try this now. I wanted to when Imstillworkin did this because everything she does is Amazing but I really didn't know but after watching you I have to do this. Great video thank you so much! ~Linda~

[@perbain]

She is great and I have learned many things from her. Thank you

[@chichi6796]

You are the best salesman for vegetarian food.

[@perbain]

I definately would go with a nice hamburger, but I would not dehydrate it as it is exactly what we would do in a SHTF situation anyway. Just Oatmeal, dehydrated egg and spices--Who can ask for anything more. :)

[@jaylee968]

I'm definitely going to try this. Thanks for sharing!

[@perbain]

A friend and I are working on those spices. I am still really excited about the possibilities. Thanks

[@sheann283]

Thanks for testing this for us and passing this along.

[@perbain]

A woman after my own heart. We think outside the box. Most excellent--thank you

[@perbain]

If your new, then this is for you. Its a great money saver. Infact, I will no longer be canning sausage as this is cheaper, easier, and more prepper sensible. Oats, spice, dried egg and water.

[@elizabethcope1502]

To make a chicken version try chicken broth & poultry seasoning. A fish version, Old Bay Seasoning with shrimp stock. Shrimp stock is easily made from shells of shrimp. Fish sauce used in Asian cooking might also add depth of flavoring. God bless.

[@2late4me2care]

My Mom has to give up most meat so this will be a blessing to her. Thanks!

[@perbain]

Thanks Candy. I'm sure this would make a great Iltalian sausage too. With the cost of meat, this is a great alternative. Thank you

[@tyeboop5990]

These remind me of Bertha Burgers but with sausage seasonings. I loved you commentary.

[@Applesaucegirl01]

I made these this morning and they are fabulous!! Oh by the way new sub here, love your videos!

[@rutten69]

Have tryed this, and its very good!! Thank you for sharing :-)

[@707jmc]

Thanks for the recipe! I'm going to try this with some substitutions. Beef stock isn't vegetarian, so I'll maybe try a veggie broth or some liquid smoke to see if that'll be a good substitute along with some egg replacer. Thanks Again! Can't wait to try this! Your Awesome!

[@deborahwoods2361]

Jenna, I'm Vegan and I get a beefless stock powder here (I'm in Australia) but I've heard that you can buy it in the states too. Also there's a lady on youtube that calls her channel Connie's Rawsome Kitchen and she makes her own. Her "meatballs" are delicious!

[@denisemartinez6456]

[@kathleenkidman7908]

Looks great and so easy to make. Thanks for the recipe. A New Zealand sub.

[@airyfairycelt]

More of these please! Enjoying your experiments here. And for middle burg prepper....... I do not eat meat, nor do I crave that flavour, or buy those mock things. I just try to balance a dinner for the meaty lot and for me. They eat meat, fish and eggs but share a dinner with me here and there.

[@perbain]

The oatmeal in the can will last a long time in and of itself. You raise an interesting thought. Thank you

[@2leelouCreates]

How cool is that!?! I'm certainly going to give this a shot. I saw imstillworkin's video (she's great) but I never made it. Thanks for the reminder.

[@moxyoonyx2713]

[@joanneutke498]

Great video thank you! This is a must try recipe.

[@Michigansnowpony]

I love Imstillworkin! I saw this video of hers too and wanted to try it. Haven't done it yet, but I downloaded her video for future reference.

Thank you my friend

[@BacktoBasicsGal]

And we have a WINNER! LOL - Loved this Video! Thanks and God Bless!

It is worth a try as the cost of this whole product is in cents not dollars. Thank you for the idea.

[@tariqscientificallah3723]

I was skeptic when I read the title but you made me a believer... thankz...

[@Cat607]

This works well with 7 grain mix in place of the oatmeal. The ideas seem endless. I can't thank you enough. Best of all, everyone who has tried this thought it was real meat.

[@Farmword]

I made this today and I also subscribed to your channel. Thank you, Lady! I love this recipe! Hey, Imthought next time that I might add a little maple syrup so itbtastes even more,like breakfast sausage. Itbreally is amgreat recipe though. I feel like I really found something great here.

[@MyMaineHomestead]

Thank you for sharing ! I may give this a try sometime !

[@LindasPantry]

Imstilworkin did post the recipe:)

[@creekboysmom]

gonna have to try that. thanks for sharing!
