I would definitely mince some pork, too. Some people don't like oatmeal
in their meatloaf. For a first attempt I'd use the homemade breadcrumbs
and a little of the mushroom ketchup. Definitely chopped onion,
although if the meat mixture is fatty enough enough dried onions would
also work. (Of course the mushroom ketchup and egg will add to the
moisture content.) The herbs would be entirely a matter of what you like.
