Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s get started! First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, ketchup, Parmesan cheese, egg, onion powder, garlic powder, and a generous sprinkle of salt and pepper. You’ll want to mix all of this until everything is well combined, but don’t overdo it; a gentle mix works best for a tender meatloaf. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
