Meatloaf recipes

[Picard]

I fancy making myself meatloaf.

I've never eaten meatloaf, but I have mince in my fridge and I want to do something different.

I have bread crumbs (or I can quickly blitz some up)
I have eggs
I have mince
I have spices (salt, pepper, some other stuff)
I have spiced bread crumbs (Kelloggs packets - maybe a bit too spicy to use on it's own)
I have onion soup powder
I have worcester sauce
I have chutney
I have tomato sauce
I have butter
I have cheese
I have onions

I don't have milk

Care to assist me in this culinary adventure?

EDIT: Has anyone seen blu?

Ingredients
750g/1lb 10oz lean minced beef
175g/6oz sausage meat
1 egg, beaten
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 tablespoon sage leaves, chopped
1 tablespoon mustard
1 heaped tablespoon tomato purée
110g/4oz fresh breadcrumbs
½ tsp paprika
salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method
1.Heat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas4.
2.Place all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl and mix thoroughly - it s best to use your hands here.
3.Transfer the mix to a 900g/2lb loaf tin and pat down until level. Cover the top of the mixture with an oiled piece of greaseproof paper.
4.Bake in the oven for 1 hour 30 minutes or until the meatloaf is cooked through. (Remove the paper 15 minutes before the end of cooking).

NB. If you prefer, you can place the meatloaf to bake in a bain marie (water bath) ie: in a baking tin half filled with water. Cook for a further 20-30 minutes if needs be. Baking the loaf in a bain marie ensures the meatloaf cooks through evenly and stays moist.

Be sure to make a nice red pepper sauce or a tomato+onion sauce or whatever sauce you want, it's just finishes it off

I've been eating leftover meat loaf sandwiches all week. I'll post a nice, simple, unpretentious recipe when I get home.

I've never eaten meatloaf

I'd do anything for love, but I won't do that.

Not yet - picked up more yeast and flour today so I'll give it a shot tonight.

I have never eaten meatloaf either, Picard.

For lunch today, I took a spanakopita recipe (that is a pie with spinach, ricotta cheese & feta) and simply amended it by adding a layer of homemade savoury mince.

Came out brilliantly.
