Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, I like to gather all my ingredients and equipment. In a large mixing bowl, I combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, chopped onion, egg, Worcestershire sauce, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. The mixture might feel a bit sticky, but that’s perfectly normal! I then use my hands to gently mix everything until it’s well combined. This part always gets my hands a little messy, but the feeling of creating something delicious is worth it! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
