  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup

  • Instructions

    1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    2. In a large bowl combine ground meat, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, onion, garlic powder, ketchup, salt, and pepper; mix until just combined.

    3. Shape mixture into small oval loaves, about two tablespoons each, and place on the prepared baking sheet.
