Don't even think of it. Unless you are an experienced home canner and have a pressure cooker large enough to do the job.
Improperly canned food -- and particularly mea -- can result in very serious illness and even death.

Regarding canning meatloaf.
You have to use a pressure cooker to can meats. My grandmother of blessed memory used to do this but I never really learned. You can find information at your library about it; check for the Ball Blue Book. There is also a website I found http://davidgblackburn.podhoster.com/ that has videos about canning and one is about meatloaf.
This is such a mitzvah you are performing. Who knows what our poor soldiers are getting to eat over there? A good home-cooked meal, even one in a jar, would be a blessing.

Those boxes of mac & cheese are a good starting point. You can add in canned tuna or chicken, ground beef, peas, corn, etc. Mix up your add ins and you can create a lot of different dishes. They will also reheat well in the microwave the next day.

I bet Snowboy has lots of great recipes for college students that are quick and affordable. I think he told us that he's a college student!!

As for 1492.................In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue.
Take it from me, any cooking utensils in a dorm room must be hidden. The colleges ususally allow a very low wattage micro.......but that's it.

Oh, I DO Hope that was a typographical error! Either that or you ought to be making a ton of money on the talk show circuit.

I'd also suggest a new, modern hot pot. I have one that I use in place of a tea kettle and it's mostly plastic. It doesn't get TOO hot but it does get up to boiling and doesn't get hot enough to harm anything around it.
And I think it goes without saying that anyone using any of these appliances should NEVER LEAVE THE ROOM WHILE THEY ARE IN USE!
Had to get that said! Whew!

Are ya talkin' "dorm" food? My fisrt 2 years of college were in the dorm, back in 1492! WAY before every dorm room would end up with a small microwave and fridge. We didn't do much cooking during that time. Had hot pots and "stingers" (ILLEGAL wire coil thingies that would boil water). A kitchen in dorm basement with stove and fridge that werre always too disgusting to even think about using.
Last 2 years lived off campus. Not bragging, kinda sad actually, but was one of the few who had a clue about cooking. Remember 2 girls who ate NOTHING but spaghetti and Ragu sauce for an entire semester.
Senior year (1st semester) was student teaching and living with 5 other girls in Allentown, PA. They had no idea what all ya had to do was season chicken and stick in the oven till done. We were really only cooking Monday thru Thursday, since everybody disappeared for the weekends. The one rule I liked was... if ya cook, ya didn't have to clean up!!
Last semester, lived with a bunch of girls who could actually cook some. We'd sit down on SUnday night and plan what we'd have and who'd cook it. Then chip in $10 each... that could feed 6 people way back then.
When I had god-daughters in college would send them a "care package" for their birthdays... tea bags, coffee (instant), creamer, peanut butter/jelly, crackers, squeeze cheese, ramen, etc.
If you eat any meals in a cafeteria... are condiments in individual packets?? Wink! Wink!
A slight spin-off on this topic might be cooking utensils for a college student!?! I'd recommend a non-stick electric frying pan. Could be double duty and used to cook pasta in a pinch.

Oh, MAN, do I remember my college dorm days! Top Ramen wasn't as big a hit on the east coast then and all I had to cook with was a hot pot (now called something else, I'm sure) in my room, and a toaster oven, and small refrigerator at the end of the hall in the lounge. I lived on Cup-A-Soup. These days you young whippersnappers (LOL!) have it so easy with your microwaves and websites like this one to fall back on.
Okay, seriously. if you want to start a discussion board section for that, ask the mods. If you want it added as a search term, or as a recipe collection, they can at least point you in the right direction.
If you just want to talk about it here...let's have fun! I can think of dozens of ways to make cooking easy for college students.
