Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Grease an 8 x 8-inch glass pan or 9 x 9-inch glass pan, either size will work.

Melt the butter in a small skillet and sauté the celery and onion until slightly softened. Set aside to cool slightly.

In a large bowl mix the ground beef, Italian breadcrumbs, egg, milk, ketchup, cooled celery and onion, garlic powder, salt and pepper.

If the mixture seems a little dry you can add a bit more milk or if it seems too wet add a bit more breadcrumbs.

Transfer the meatloaf mixture to the greased baking pan and shape into a loaf.

Mix the topping ingredients in a small bowl and spread on top of the meatloaf mixture.

Bake for 50 - 60 minutes uncovered. (if it looks like it is getting too brown tent it with a sheet of foil for the remainder of the baking time)

Personal Notes:
If you make the meatloaf ahead of time, just keep it in the frig and add the topping just before baking.
