Ingredients

6 servings

  • 2 large eggs
  • ⅔ cup milk
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 3 slices bread, crumbled

Instructions

Follow these steps in order for best results.

  1. Step 1

    Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Step 2

    Whisk eggs, milk, salt, and ground black pepper in a large bowl. Add crumbled bread and stir until dissolved. Mix ground beef, onion, Cheddar cheese, and carrot into bread mixture; transfer mixture to a 9x5-inch loaf pan.

  3. Step 3

    Combine brown sugar, ketchup, and mustard in a small bowl; spread over the meat mixture.
