Notes

  • The breadcrumbs act like a binding agent along with the eggs. Breadcrumbs are soaked in milk and keep the loaf moist. Always soak your breadcrumbs in milk before mixing them with the meat to get the best results.
  • If you'd like to use a different sauce, feel free. Use barbecue sauce instead of ketchup, or use tomato sauce for a healthier version.
  • Use a thermometer to check the internal temperature of the loaf. If it's cooked too long it will become dry. The perfect internal temperature should reach 160°F.
