Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s get cooking! First, I preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C), which fills my kitchen with the anticipation of what’s to come. In a large mixing bowl, I combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and oregano. I mix everything until well combined; I like to use my hands for this part—it’s a bit messy but oh-so-satisfying! The mixture should be sticky but manageable.
