3. Transfer the mixture into a loaf pan and shape it into a loaf. Spread ketchup on top for added flavor.

Notes
Use fresh herbs for better aroma, or substitute dried if unavailable.
Avoid overmixing the meat to prevent a dense texture.
Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
Serve with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
For extra flavor, baste with pan juices or a light tomato-based sauce.
