Equipment
  • 1 small saucepan
  • 1 Medium bowl
  • 1 9x5-inch loaf pan
Ingredients
  
  • 1/2 pound lean ground beef
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 1 cup bread crumbs
  • 2 teaspoons parsley
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup warm water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper flake
  • 1/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese grated
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
 
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
    Prepare a 9x5-inch loaf pan by lightly greasing it with a tablespoon of vegetable oil.
    Combine the ingredients in a medium bowl.
    In the bowl, mix together the ground beef, onions, green bell pepper, celery, grated sharp cheddar cheese, and garlic.
  • Add the binding and seasoning elements.
    Include bread crumbs, Lipton onion soup mix, parsley, warm water, and 1/4 cup of ketchup into the mixture.
    Season this mixture with salt and pepper flakes to taste.
    Mix the ingredients thoroughly.
    Combine everything well without over-mixing or overhandling the mixture, as this can cause the meatloaf to become heavy once it's cooked.
  • Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan.
    Evenly spread the meat mixture within the greased loaf pan, ensuring it is evenly distributed and compact.
    Prepare the ketchup topping.
    In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup ketchup with 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1 tablespoon butter.
    Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
  • Top the meatloaf with the ketchup mixture.
    Pour the ketchup mixture over the top of the meatloaf, spreading it out evenly to cover the surface.
    Bake the meatloaf.
    Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).
  • Allow the meatloaf to rest.
    Remove the pan from the oven, and let the meatloaf sit for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
