Description

This hearty roast meatloaf is a comforting crowd-pleaser that brings nostalgic, home-style flavor to any dinner table. Made with lean ground beef, savory oats, and aromatic herbs like parsley and savory, it delivers a tender texture and rich, satisfying taste. The sweet and tangy catsup glaze adds a beautiful shine and balances the savory meat perfectly. Ideal for weeknight suppers, potlucks, or Sunday family meals, this recipe is simple yet impressive. It pairs wonderfully with mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables. Whether you make it in a loaf pan or free-form on a baking sheet, this dish promises to become a regular favorite in your rotation.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, egg, oats, milk, parsley, salt, savory (or thyme), and pepper. Mix gently but thoroughly until just combined.
  3. Press the meat mixture firmly into an ungreased 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 2 1/2-inch loaf pan.
  4. Run a spatula around the edges to loosen the loaf, then invert the pan onto an ungreased 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan to unmold the loaf.
  5. In a small bowl, mix the catsup (or chili sauce) and brown sugar until smooth. Spread this glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
  6. Bake uncovered for about 1 to 1 1/4 hours, or until the meatloaf is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
  7. Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it stand for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.
  8. Slice and serve on a heated platter.
