This meatloaf is delicious with a delightful herby flavor. It's a fun alternative to the typical bacon-BBQ flavor profile associated with more traditional meatloaves.

  • 1/2 pound Ramstead ground pork
  • 1 cup minced onion
  • 1/2 cup catsup
  • 1/2 cup seasoned dry breadcrumbs

  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 2 teaspoons dried basil
