Step 1
|
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease a baking sheet. |
Step 2
|
Using your hands, combine all ingredients except ketchup and white onion in a large bowl and mix well. Place the mixture on the baking sheet and mold it into a football shape, making sure to pat down the middle so it’s no thicker than the edges. |
Step 3
|
Bake 50 to 60 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer registers 160 degrees F. |
Step 4
|
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and spoon a few tablespoons ketchup in the center to make a base for the football’s “laces.” Slice a thick ring from the center of the white onion, peel off a strand to form the anchor of the lacing and lay the piece over the ketchup. Then cut shorter pieces of white onion to make the lacing’s crosshatches. |
Step 5
|
Serve warm or at room temperature. |
