Instructions
Cooking Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180C/350F. Oil or spray a loaf tin.
- Mix together glaze ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Place breadcrumbs in a very large bowl. Grate over onion. Mix so the breadcrumbs are all wet.
- Add remaining ingredients. Mix well using your hands. Form into a loaf shape, pinching together then smoothing over creases and cracks.
- Transfer into loaf tin. Brush generously with glaze, using about ½.
- Bake for 45 minutes. Remove from oven and brush with most of the remaining glaze.
- If there is excess fat pooling, scoop/pour it off.
- Bake for a further 30 minutes. Remove from oven.
- Stand for 10 minutes before turning out and cutting into thick slices.
- Ideal served with a dollop of ketchup, creamy mashed potatoes, and steamed vegetables.
Notes
Panko breadcrumbs make the meatloaf softer. Bouillon cubes add better flavor than plain salt. Resting the meatloaf helps retain its moisture and tenderness.
