Ingredients

The following ingredients have 1 Servings
  • 1 lb lean (at least 80%) ground beef
  • 1 clove garlic or 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 small onion
  • 2 slices bread with crust
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh or 1/4 teaspoon dried sage leaves
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground mustard
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/3 cup ketchup, chili sauce or barbecue sauce

Instruction

  • Heat the oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, break up the beef into small pieces, using a fork or spoon.
  • Peel and finely chop the garlic. Peel the onion, and chop enough of the onion into small pieces to measure 3 tablespoons. Wrap remaining piece of onion, and refrigerate for another use. Add the garlic and onion to the beef.
  • Tear the bread into small pieces and add to beef mixture.
  • Add the milk, Worcestershire sauce, sage, salt, mustard, pepper and egg to the beef mixture. Mix with a fork, large spoon or your hands until the ingredients are well mixed.
  • Place the beef mixture in an ungreased baking pan. Shape the mixture into an 8x4-inch loaf in the pan, then spread the ketchup over the top.
  • Bake uncovered 50 to 60 minutes until meat and juices are no longer pink or until a meat thermometer inserted in the center of the loaf reads 160°F and center of loaf is no longer pink*. Let the loaf stand 5 minutes so it will be easier to remove from the pan. Remove loaf from pan and cut into slices.
