Step-by-Step Instructions
To get started, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). If you’re anything like me, just the sound of the oven heating up can make my heart race with excitement! In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, chopped onions, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix it well until it forms a cohesive mixture. This is where you can let your fingers do the talking—get in there and really mix! The aroma of the onions will start to fill the air, making it hard to resist sneaking a taste.
