Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound of ground beef
  • 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup of milk
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper

Notes

Put the container in the fridge if you plan to eat it within 3-4 days. If you want to save it longer, you can freeze it. Just use a freezer-safe container or a resealable freezer bag. Don’t forget to label it with the date so you’ll remember when you made it!
