Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large mixing bowl, I combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, chopped onion, egg, salt, and pepper. Once everything is well-mixed, I form the mixture into patties that are about 1/2 inch thick. This part always makes me smile because I can feel Aunt Edna’s spirit guiding me through her age-old recipe. Next, I heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until they are beautifully browned. This step brings such a lovely aroma into my kitchen!
