I made a Venison Meatloaf tonight. So lovely.
I want to make others, but my family are stuck on this one.
Any ideas?

Bacon Wrapped Pork Meatloaf

750g pork mince (I used slightly less mince, added grated carrot & courgette)
1 medium brown onion, grated
2 cloves garlic, crushed
200g button mushrooms, finely chopped (am the only mushroom fan here, so just used about a handful)
1T finely chopped thyme (I used about 1t dried)
1/2 c finely chopped flat-leaf parsley (I just chucked in a couple of spoons dried)
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 c soft fresh breadcrumbs
1 1/2 T hot chilli sauce (I used mild chilli - not hot food fans)
1 1/2 T dijon mustard
2/3c smoky BBQ sauce
8 thin bacon rashers, rind removed

Preheat oven to 200deg c/180deg fan forced. Line a baking tray with paper, then place a wire rack in tray.

Place mince, onion, garlic, mushroom, thyme, parsley, egg, breadcrumbs, chilli sauce, mustard and 1/2c of the BBQ sauce in a large bowl. Using hands (I used the mixer!), mix ingredients well.

Arrange bacon rashers on a copping board, overlapping slightly. Place mince mixture across centre of bacon rashers. Using wet hands, pat mince mixture into a loaf shape. Bring bacon slices over sides to meet. Turn meatloaf over and place on wire rack. Bake for 40 minutes.

Remove meatloaf from oven, brush with remaining BBQ sauce. Bake for 10 minutes more or until firm & cooked. Serve with salad.

Another vote for this one - I found it on a slip of paper inside my worn out old cookbook last week and promptly made it again. Some of my kids aren't big on the tomato topping though, so I left the top of the meatloaf plain and heated the remainder of the can for those who appreciate it to spoon on top once sliced ..... delicious!

Meat Loaf (Microwave)
500 gm mince meat
½ cup rolled oats
1 egg lightly beaten
2 Tbsp tomato sauce
1 small onion
salt/pepper
1 dsp worcester sauce
1 tsp beef Maggi stock

Combine all ingredients and place in loaf pan. (I use a ring pan.)

Optional Tomato Sauce

1 dsp dark soy sauce
½ tsp curry powder

Combine all ingredients and pour on top of meat loaf before cooking.
Cover and cook 8 mins on High. (Mine takes more like 10 mins, but it is a slower oven.)

You can serve it hot, but nice cold too.

I'm a sucker for a sausage meatloaf; and I find the sausage meat tubes from the supermarket too high in salt, fat and lacks flavour.

Last week I grabbed a pkt of Hellers Pure Pork; Angus Beef and Tomato and Basil sausages. Slit the skins under cold running water and they peel off with ease. Added the usual seasonings, vegetables etc, smothered the top in HP sauce and baked.
Wow! Pretty cool having three flavours of meatloaf.

Thats a good idea shopaholic, for when I cant find the packet sausage meat :) I always put pineapple on the bottom - when you take it out, it is on the top :) and with the watties sauce too.

vampiriousmist - 2012-05-08 18:00:00

Seriously... we all like a good sausage; but in my kitchen, it's best with skins off. tee hee

Used to make one years ago with a mixture of grated carrot, thyme and grated onion... rolled into sausage meat, whatever you prefer the skinned prepared ones or generic packs from the SM... Baste with dilluted beef stock while cooking...

Yup, same here, I double the receipe and freeze them, make about 4 out of the mix, I found that by blending the mince + sausage meat together made it really nice, did not use the bread, but seasoned breadcrumbs. Real favorite here with us.

Used to make this a lot when we ate meatloaf... was good for a family.

500g - 800g of good quality sausage meat.

Grate a carrot... add dried thyme + salt and pepper
Then add some tomatoe sauce (2 tbs is enough) + diced onion.
Mix together.. it should not be too sloppy

Pat sausage meat out into rectangle and add the mixture leaving an edge...
if you put it on baking paper it helps when you roll it up.
Tuck the ends in and roll up lengthways.

Place in a slighly greased dish.

Make up a light beef stock with water ... to around 500ml.... (I think the original recipe used marmite) ... cook in oven for 30 minutes basting with liquid occasionally... then another 15 - 20 minutes.... cool slightly and slice.

I just put a meatloaf in the oven, I winged it and just remembered about this page...ooops forgot bread crumbs but picked up a good hint about basting it while cooking, I remember years ago I used to use marmite dissolved in boiling water. I used the usual stuff, 2 x sausagemeat, maybe 500gram beef mince, soya sauce, BBQ sauce, mild chilli sauce, garlic & herb salt, 2 eggs, and 1 packet onion & bacon mix as I love those they add so much flavour to everything. In one tin I sprinkled brown sugar & BBQ sauce the other is plain.
