Step-by-Step Instructions
First, I preheat my oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, I combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, Worcestershire sauce, onion, garlic powder, onion powder, and a generous sprinkle of salt and pepper. I love getting my hands in there to mix everything up; it really allows me to feel the texture of the meat and ensure everything is evenly incorporated. Once it’s all combined, I shape the mixture into a loaf and set it aside. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
