Directions

1
In a large mixing bowl, add ground beef, finely diced onion, minced garlic, eggs, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, quick-cooking oats, milk, chopped fresh parsley, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Using your hands, gently mix all ingredients until well combined without over-mixing to maintain tenderness.

On a casserole pan or rimmed baking sheet, shape the mixture into a loaf approximately 9×5 inches in size. Alternatively, place the mixture into a loaf pan for baking.

In a small bowl, stir together ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and coconut or brown sugar. Brush this glaze evenly over the top of the formed meatloaf.
4
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the glazed meatloaf into the oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C) to ensure it is fully cooked.
5
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes to retain its juices. Then, slice into portions and serve warm.
