Ingredients

8 servings

•

2 pounds ground beef
•

1 cup quick cooking oats
•

1 onion, chopped
•

0.5 cup milk
•

2 eggs
•

0.25 cup ketchup
•

0.25 cup chopped fresh parsley

•

1 clove garlic, minced
•

1 teaspoon salt
•

0.5 teaspoon dried basil
•

0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
•

2 tablespoons ketchup
•

4 slices Cheddar cheese, halved

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
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.
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 meatloaf should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
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.
