In large bowl mix well all ingredients. Yes, it works best to squish it together with your fingers. Pack into foil lined 8"x4"x2" loaf pan. (If you use a 9"x5"x3" pan, use 1 1/2 recipes.) Bake in 375 degree oven for 45 minutes. Pour off drippings and let stand 10 minutes before you slice and serve.
