Baked Oatmeal

This is my favorite kind of meal...easy, healthy, frugal, and delicious.  It also makes my house smell fabulous while it's baking.
The flavor is like that of an oatmeal cookie...sweet, but not overly sweet.  It is an extremely versatile recipe, and you can use all kinds of add-in's according to your taste.  Tonight I made it with Craisins.  We had it topped with vanilla yogurt and fresh strawberries, and scrambled eggs on the side.
A small family of 2-4 may want to halve this recipe and bake in a smaller pan.
