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.

Recipe Yield

1 5x9-inch loaf

Recipe Note

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.
