Step-by-Step Instructions
To start making this scrumptious meatloaf, first, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). I love the sound of the oven warming up because I know something delicious is on the way! In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, milk, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Use your hands to mix everything thoroughly—don’t worry, it’s a messy job, but that’s part of the fun! It should have a well-combined, loose texture that holds together.
