Mix ground beef with breadcrumbs,

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, onion, garlic, milk, and seasonings.
2. Mix gently with your hands or a spoon until just combined (don’t overmix or the meat will get tough).
3. Shape into meatballs, patties, or a loaf, depending on what you’re making.
4. Cook:
   • Meatballs → Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 18–20 minutes, or pan-fry until browned and cooked through.
   • Burgers/Patties → Grill or pan-fry 4–5 minutes per side.
   • Meatloaf → Shape into a loaf, bake at 375°F (190°C) for 50–60 minutes.

👉 From here, you can get creative:

• Add grated Parmesan & Italian herbs → Italian-style meatballs.
• Add BBQ sauce & smoked paprika → BBQ meatloaf.
• Add chopped parsley & cumin → Mediterranean-style patties.
