I love meatloaf. It’s my favorite home cooked meal. My wife made this tonight and it was excellent. To me the meatloaf is a culinary litmus test. I am more impressed with meatloaf than a steak. Make you some meatloaf today!
This recipe incorporates the best parts of my mother’s meatloaf, with a few Soup Diva elements thrown in!
- 1/2 large [or 1 whole small] yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 lb lean ground beef
- 3/4 cup quick oats
- Milk to desired consistency (about 1/2 cup)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 2 tsp thyme (dried or fresh)
- 2 tsp salt (more or less to taste, not including salt for onions)
- 1 tsp black pepper (more or less to taste)
Melt butter in microwave in large glass bowl. Add onion and sprinkle with salt. Cook on high 4 minutes; stir and cook another 4 minutes.

Transfer to loaf pan…
