Ingredients

  • 3 slices Whole Wheat Baguette, Sliced 1-Inch Thick
  • 1 whole Medium Onion, Grated
  • 1 whole Large Egg
  • 1 package Extra Lean Ground Beef (400 Gram Package)
  • 3 cloves Garlic, Crushed
  • 13 cups Chopped Fresh Parsley, More As Desired (dried Doesn't Work)
  • 1 Tablespoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoons Pepper

Method

  • Preheat your oven to 375 F.
  • In a large mixing bowl pour some lukewarm water over the bread slices and let the bread soak in the water.
  • Just add enough water to cover the bread.
  • After the bread has completely softened and absorbed the water, drain the excess water out of the bowl and gently squeeze the excess water out of the bread.
  • When you are left with only the soaked bread in the bowl, add all of the remaining ingredients into the bowl.
  • Mix well using your clean hands.
  • When the meat mixture has come together, pour it into a large casserole dish (I use my 9 x 13 lasagna pan).
  • Shape the meat mixture to look like a loaf of bread, trying to keep it uniform in size so it cooks evenly.
  • Put the baking dish into the oven.
  • Bake for 45 minutes or until the meat is cooked through.
  • Serve immediately or at room temperature.
  • Notes: 1.
  • In a pinch you can use 3 slices of whole wheat toaster bread in place of the baguette.
  • 2.
  • Yes, exactly 400 grams of meat.
  • Just kidding ... anything up to 500 grams works.
  • 3.
  • If you dont have fresh parsley on hand, just skip it (dried wont work).
  • 4.
  • Im not a fan of loaf pans because there is nowhere for the fat to go (yes, extra lean meat has fat too).
