Directions
Preheat oven to moderate (375 degrees).
Line jelly-roll pan with aluminum foil.
Sauté onion in oil in large skillet over medium heat 3 minutes.

Combine beef, pork, oats, egg, whites, mozzarella, Parmesan, parsley, optional salt, and pepper in large bowl.
Add vegetable mixture.

Bake in moderate oven (375 degrees) for 30 minutes.
Brush loaf with ketchup.

Bake this meat loaf in a loaf pan due to possible grease escaping from the jelly roll pan.
Also spoon off some of the fat from the loaf after 30 minutes.
