Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a standard loaf pan with butter and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and milk. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow the breadcrumbs to absorb the milk.
Add the ground beef, egg, finely chopped onion, salt, pepper, and nutmeg to the breadcrumb mixture. Mix thoroughly using your hands or a wooden spoon until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Transfer the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan, pressing it down gently to ensure there are no air pockets.
Dot the top of the meat mixture with small pieces of butter to ensure a rich flavor and moist texture as it bakes.
Pour 50 ml of water into the pan around the edges of the meat loaf. This helps create steam and keeps the loaf moist during baking.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50 minutes, or until the meat loaf is cooked through, and the top is golden brown.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the meat loaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute and makes slicing easier.
Serve warm with boiled potatoes, gravy, and your favorite vegetables, or enjoy it cold the next day in sandwiches.
