  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs ground beef
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup tomato sauce

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Use your hands or a large spoon to mix all ingredients together until well combined.
  3. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce on the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish. Press the meat mixture evenly into the dish.
