I discovered this recipe when I was pregnant with my first child. This is the only meatloaf recipe my family allows me to make still. It can be frozen ahead.
Recipe Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 cup quick cooking oats
- 1 onion, chopped
- ½ cup milk
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup ketchup
- ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese, halved
Cooking Directions
- 1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- 2 Mix ground beef, quick oats, onion, milk, eggs, 1/4 cup ketchup, parsley, garlic, salt, basil, and black pepper together in a large bowl until thoroughly combined; pat the mixture into a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
- 3 Bake meatloaf in the preheated oven until firm and no longer pink inside, 1 to 1 1/4 hours. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the center of the meat loaf should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
- 4 Remove from oven, spread 2 tablespoons ketchup over loaf, and top with Cheddar cheese slices; return to oven and bake until cheese has melted, about 5 more minutes.
