All American Meatloaf - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 pounds ground beef
    1 cup quick cooking oats
    1 onion, chopped
    1/2 cup milk
    2 eggs
    1/4 cup ketchup
    1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
    1 clove garlic, minced
    1 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon dried basil
    1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
    2 tablespoons ketchup
    4 slices Cheddar cheese, halved
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
    Mix ground beef, quick oats, onion, milk, eggs, 1/4 cup ketchup, parsley, garlic, salt, basil, and black pepper together in a large bowl until thoroughly combined; pat the mixture into a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
    Bake meatloaf in the preheated oven until firm and no longer pink inside, 1 to 1 1/4 hours. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the center of the meat loaf should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
    Remove from oven, spread 2 tablespoons ketchup over loaf, and top with Cheddar cheese slices; return to oven and bake until cheese has melted, about 5 more minutes.
