Ingredients

• 500 g Ground beef
• 100 g Breadcrumbs
• 120 ml Milk
• 1 large Egg
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
• 0.25 tsp Ground nutmeg
• 10 g Butter
• 50 ml Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a standard loaf pan with butter and set aside.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Transfer the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan, pressing it down gently to ensure there are no air pockets.

Step 5

Dot the top of the meat mixture with small pieces of butter to ensure a rich flavor and moist texture as it bakes.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Serve warm with boiled potatoes, gravy, and your favorite vegetables, or enjoy it cold the next day in sandwiches.
