Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Shape the loaf: Transfer the mixture to the prepared loaf pan or form it into a loaf shape on the baking sheet.
Add the topping: Spread an even layer of ketchup over the top of the meatloaf.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes , or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) .
Rest and serve: Let the meatloaf rest for about 5–10 minutes before slicing. Serve with mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or your favorite sides.
