How to Make Rosemary Meatloaf

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Lightly grease a 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  3. In a large bowl, lightly beat 2 large eggs with a fork.
  4. Add 1/2 cup water and 1 cup quick-cooking oats; let stand for 5 minutes to absorb liquid. Stir in 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Add 1.5 lbs ground beef (or a mixture of ground beef and pork) to the bowl. Gently mix with your hands or a sturdy spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Shape the meat mixture into a loaf in the prepared baking pan.
  7. Make a 1/2-inch deep indentation down the center of the loaf.
  8. Fill the indentation with 1/2 cup ketchup.
  9. Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). A meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the loaf will give you the most accurate reading.
  10. Remove from oven and loosely tent with foil. Let stand for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender meatloaf.
