Tried to stretch ground beef with oatmeal and ended up with weird meat porridge

Thought I'd be smart and bulk out a pound of ground beef with half a cup of rolled oats to save money on tacos. The texture was awful, like lumpy mush mixed with meat, and my kid asked why dinner was crying. Has anyone actually gotten this trick to work or is it all a lie?

faithrodriguez, bless your heart, you reminded me of my own kitchen disaster last year. I followed that same hack to stretch a meatloaf and my husband asked if we were eating sloppy joes or some kind of pet food. It turned into a gray, weepy mess that even the dog turned his nose up at. Some internet tricks should just stay on the internet.
