Let’s make it

  1. Heat the oven to 375°F and line a loaf pan or baking sheet.
  2. Mix beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, onion, ketchup, Worcestershire, salt, and pepper. Shape into a loaf and bake 50 to 60 minutes, until the center reaches 160°F.
  3. Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes; drain.
