Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Combine all meat loaf ingredients. Mix to combine.
Shape meat into a loaf and place on a roasting pan or some pan that has drainage.
Bake for 40 minutes. Increase heat to 400 degrees and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until internal temperature of meat is 160 degrees F.
In a bowl combine the topping ingredients. Pour over the top of the meat loaf and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Notes
I used panko crumbs because that is what I had on hand but you can also use regular bread crumbs or seasoned bread crumbs. If you use seasoned bread crumbs leave out the Italian seasoning.
Bake the loaf on a roaster pan. This will allow the grease from the meat to drain away from the meat and you won't end up with your meatloaf sitting in a puddle of grease.
Add the ketchup mixture at the end and bake for an additional ten minutes. Just bake it long enough for the sauce to set.
