Meat loaf is a great comfort food for Winter and a delicious cold meat to have with salad in Summer. It is a fabulously easy recipe to make and I quite often make four meat loaves at a time when I buy a big tray of beef mince. Once cooked I double wrap them, label and freeze for a quick dinner on a busy day. . Use your hands to mix it all together or if you have an electric mixer it will save your hands from getting cold in the raw meat.
400 grams of
beef mince
3
tablespoons of white rice – cooked
¼ cup of
tomato sauce
1 egg
1 tablespoon
of dried onion flakes or one small onion diced
½ tablespoon
of dried chives
Salt and
pepper to taste
Boil the rice
until it's cooked. Drain and cool Place all ingredients into a bowl and mix
well. Place into a well greased oblong
loaf tin. Press down well until top is
flat. Cover with foil and cook in an
oven for 40 minutes at 180degrees celcius. Take the foil off.
Drain most of the juices and cook uncovered for a further 15
minutes. Turn onto a clean chopping
board and slice. Serve with gravy, mash and
vegetables. Serves 4 people. Freezes well.
Leftovers are great in a toasted sandwich with lashings of sauce.
This meat loaf costs about $2 to make with mince costing $4.69 a kilo in July 2014
Hi Wendy,
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful recipe and I could easily manage to add that to month newly established monthly menu plan. When mince is on special I could also go ahead and make a couple for the freezer. This is sure to be a crowd pleaser - the crowed being me and Ms11! ;-)
Thanks and I'm loving your blog!

Hi Wendy,
ReplyDeleteThat sounds yummy. When I get more meat I am going to make a double batch up and once cooked will halve both loaves for freezer. Each half loaf will be enough for my 19 year old son and I. We may even get a few slices for lunch the next day.
Like Shadow I'm also enjoying the blog.
Hugs Leanne.
Hi Shadow and Leanne. This recipe is very yummy. It's not a super firm meatloaf like the ones made with sausage mince. It's more country style but at least you'll know exactly what's in it.
ReplyDeleteMade it and was good! Thankyou! fed 4 of us with veg for dinner and the rest for sandwiches.
ReplyDeletei really look forward to reading some more when you get a chance ":)
ReplyDeleteWould never have thought to use the leftovers on toasted sandwiches. Will definitely give that a go!!
