Instructions

1 Preheat your oven to 350°F.
2 In a large bowl, combine ground beef, quick oats, diced onion, milk, eggs, ¼ cup
ketchup, chopped parsley, minced garlic, salt, dried basil, and black pepper.
Mix thoroughly until evenly blended.
3 Form the mixture into a loaf shape and position it in a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
4 Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 1 to 1¼ hours or until it feels firm
and is no longer pink in the center, ensuring it reaches an internal temperature
of 160°F.
5 After cooking, remove the loaf from the oven and spread the remaining 2
tablespoons of ketchup on top. Arrange the halved Cheddar cheese slices over the
loaf.
6 Return the meatloaf to the oven for another 5 minutes, or until the cheese is
fully melted and bubbling.
