Instructions

Keep Screen Awake

Set oven to 350F
Mix all the ingredients together in a large mixing bowl. Use your fingertips to combine everything well, but don't over-mix or compact the meat. I like to break up the meat into smaller pieces as I add it to the bowl to give the mixing a head start.
Form the meat into an even, squat loaf, and try to get it the same width and height from end to end so it will cook evenly.
Bake it for about 50-60 minutes. You'll check with a thermometer, and it's done when the center reaches 155. Take it out, cover it with foil, and let it rest for 10 minutes or so before slicing.
