This is an easy blend that I came up with after looking at a few different recipes. It just happened to please my family; I'm posting it here so I won't lose it, lol. They tend to like foods fairly bland and boring. I didn't measure to see how many cups of bread crumbs I got, as I kept crumbling slices of toast until it looked right. And the beef broth was my own homemade, still gelled from being in the fridge; I don't know if canned would be different.
Ingredients:
2 1/4 lbs ground beef (i used 85% lean)
1 1/2 cups dry breadcrumbs (i used about 10 slices of dry toast)
2 eggs
0.5 (1 ounce) package onion soup mix (try to get about half the powder and half the dried onion flakes)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/3 cup ketchup
1 cup beef broth
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
2. Spray baking sheet with nonstick spray. Set aside.
3. Crumble beef into large mixing bowl.
4. Add all other ingredients and mix well with hands.
5. Shape into two oblong loaves.
6. Place on baking sheet.
7. Bake in preheated oven until at least 160F inside.
8. We like ours well done; after 80 minutes it was 180F and perfect.
9. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
