Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds of beef
3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
2 eggs
Parsley
Salt and pepper
Worcestershire sauce
1 onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
Mix about 2 cups of bread crumbs with 3/4 cups of milk
Ketchup
Slices of red onion (keep intact so they are large disks)
Red wine, eyeball it, about 1/2 cup (optional)

Instructions

Mix everything together in one big bowl. Mix it really well using your hands. Add as much ketchup as desired to this mixture. Form into a loaf or ring pan, or make a shape and bake it in a large pan. Top meat loaf with the red onions and bake for 45 minutes at 350 degrees F. You can substitute bacon slices for the onion. All ingredients can vary.
