Recipe

Preheat the oven to 350� F.

In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients except the topping and garnish, and mix well. Turn the mixture into a lightly sprayed or oiled 9-by-5-inch loaf pan and gently pat down. Bake until the loaf is firm and the top is lightly browned, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and spread the crumb topping on top of the loaf.

Preheat the broiler, positioning the rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Slip the meatloaf under the broiler and broil until the topping is toasted, about 2 minutes; watch carefully to prevent burning. Let stand in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Remove the loaf from the pan, transfer to a platter, and garnish.
