Preheat oven to 375. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, eggs,
bread crumbs, green onions, milk, parsley, garlic, Worcestershire sauce,

pans, patting to cover pans evenly, make level. Bake meat loaves until
juices run clear when meat is pierced with a fork, 20-25 minutes. Remove
pans from oven; cover loosely with foil, let stand 10 minutes. Decorations: :
