Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

- Mix the ingredients together until well combined, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- Form the mixture into a loaf shape and place it into the prepared loaf pan.
- Spread the ketchup evenly over the top of the meatloaf for added moisture and flavor.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the top is browned.
- Once cooked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing to help the juices redistribute.
