Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, Quaker Old-Fashioned Oats, milk, eggs, chopped onion, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Use clean hands or a large spoon to mix all ingredients until well combined, but do not overmix as this can make the meatloaf tough.
Transfer the mixture to a greased or non-stick loaf pan (approximately 9 x 5 inches) and press it down evenly.
Spread the ketchup evenly over the top of the meatloaf to form a glaze.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 60 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Once cooked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and allow it to rest for 5-10 minutes to make slicing easier.
Carefully slice the meatloaf and serve warm with your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
