Meat Loaf - by request
This is a gluten free recipe, as it has no bread crumbs. If you wish to add breadcrumbs, just add a handful. This is also the same recipe for burgers, or meatballs.
You will need a small loaf tin
Oven at 200C
Ingredients
400g (approx.) mince beef/lamb
1 med/lg egg
1 small onion, grated or chopped very finely
1 clove garlic (optional)
1 tbl sp fresh herbs (parsley/thyme) or, half tsp if dried
a pinch salt and pepper (optional)
Method
Mix all ingredients thoroughly with your hand, or a wooden spoon.
Press into the loaf tin and place the tin in a heated 200C oven for 25-30 mins.
Remove meatloaf from oven, and allow to cool slightly before cutting across into 1" slices, or larger, whilst still in the tin.
Remove slices carefully, and serve with potatoes, green or other vegetables.
Make a quick gravy with your favourite gravy powder, or make to another recipe.
