Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, diced onion, quick oats, whole milk, large eggs, Worcestershire sauce, sea salt, and garlic powder. Stir gently to blend evenly and let sit for about 10 minutes.
  2. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a loaf pan or baking sheet lined with foil. Shape the meat mixture into a loaf about 2 inches high.
  3. Spread a layer of ketchup generously over the top of the meatloaf to add moisture and create a sweet glaze.
  4. Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 45 minutes. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  5. Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes on a cutting board before slicing.
