Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, gently mix together the chopped meat, eggs, onion, parsley, salt, black pepper, oatmeal, breadcrumbs, carrots, celery, and ketchup until just combined.
  2. Form the mixture into a loaf shape and place it on a baking dish or parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 1 hour, until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).
  4. While the meatloaf is baking, whisk together the ketchup and cornstarch in a microwave-safe cup. Add the beef consommé and dried basil, stirring to combine. Microwave for 3 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  5. Pour the savory tomato beef sauce over the meatloaf evenly and bake for an additional 30 minutes uncovered.
