Meatloaf

Ingredients

750g / 1lb 10oz lean minced beef
175g / 6oz pork 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

Heat the oven to 180°C / 350°F / Gas 4.
Place all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl and mix thoroughly—it is best to use your hands here.
Transfer the mixture to a 900g / 2lb loaf tin and pat down until level. Cover the top of the mixture with an oiled piece of greaseproof paper.
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).
