1 lb. ground beef (the leaner the better)
1 egg
1 cup beef broth
1 small onion chopped finely
1 tbsp. oregano
1 tbsp. basil
1 cup bread crumbs
1/3 cup ketchup (Hunts)
salt and pepper, to taste

Preheat oven to 375°F.

Add egg, broth, onion, oregano, basil, salt and pepper to a bowl and mix. Add meat and continue to mix. Finally add bread crumbs and mix well. Shape into loaf and place on a baking pan. Cover with ketchup.

Bake at 375°F for 45 minutes. Remove and let sit for 15 minutes (this will help it from falling apart when cutting).

Best served with mashed potatoes and string beans (at least for me!)
