Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 180C/350F. Oil or spray a loaf tin. (Note 3)
- Glaze: Mix together in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Meatloaf: Place breadcrumbs in a very large bowl. Grate over onion. Mix so the breadcrumbs are all wet. (Note 4)
- 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
1. Panko breadcrumbs are larger than normal breadcrumbs so they make the meatloaf softer. Best subs: chicken or veg bouillon or stock powder. Salt sub: 1.5 teaspoon salt.
