Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Heat the olive oil in a medium saute pan. Add the onions, thyme, salt, and pepper and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes, until the onions are translucent but not brown. Off the heat, add the Worcestershire sauce, chicken stock, and tomato paste. Allow to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground chuck, onion mixture, bread crumbs, and eggs, and mix lightly with a fork. Don't mash or the meat loaf will be dense. Shape the mixture into a rectangular loaf on a sheet pan covered with parchment paper. Spread the ketchup evenly on top. Bake for 1 to 1 1/4 hours, until the internal temperature is 160 degrees F and the meat loaf is cooked through. (A pan of hot water in the oven, under the meat loaf, will keep the top from cracking.) Serve hot.

The combination of onion, carrots, parsley and cheese-plus the tomato-mustard topping-makes this meat loaf really colorful. The recipe lends itself easily to being doubled or halved to suit the number you're cooking for, and it freezes well, too. It's the best meatloaf ever! -Anna Baker, Blaine, Washington

Tips:
- Choose the right ground beef: Use a combination of ground chuck and ground sirloin for a moist and flavorful meatloaf.
- Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture: Overmixing will make the meatloaf tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Add moisture to the meatloaf mixture: Use bread crumbs, crackers, or oats to help absorb moisture and keep the meatloaf moist.
- Season the meatloaf mixture well: Use a variety of spices and herbs to flavor the meatloaf. Garlic, onion, paprika, and thyme are all good choices.
- Don't overcook the meatloaf: Cook the meatloaf until it reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit. Overcooking will make the meatloaf dry and tough.
- Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: Let the meatloaf rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meatloaf.
