Meatloaf
755g (1lb 10oz) Lean Minced Beef
170g (6oz) Sausage Meat
110g (4oz) Fresh Breadcrumbs
1 Egg
1 Medium Onion
1 Clove Garlic
2 tbsp Parsley
1 tbsp Sage Leaves
1 tbsp English Mustard
1 tbsp Tomato Purée
1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
½ tsp Paprika
Salt and Black Pepper
Pre-heat the oven to 180°C: 350°F: Gas 4.
Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic, chop the parsley and sage.
Place all of the ingredients in a large mixing bowl and mix thoroughly, using your hands.
Place the mixture into a 900g (2lb) loaf tin, smooth the top and ensure the mixture is even.
Cover the top with a lightly oiled piece of kitchen foil (to prevent burning).
Place the loaf tin into a large deep roasting tin, add water so that it comes about half way up the side of the loaf tin.
Bake for 1½-2 hours, remove the kitchen foil for the final 20 minutes of cooking.
Note: There are so many variations of this dish, using pork and beef, adding bacon, using different herbs, adding other vegetables, making it spicier. You can tailor it to suit your own personal tastes.
