Meaty meatWhen I mention the word "meat", I mostly mean mince (minced Beef, Lamb or Pork), stews and pork bangers. Although I have added other meaty recipes to this site, it is only on very rare occasions, like on Christmas day that we'll eat roasted lamb, beef or pork. Enjoy...
500g minced meat (Beef or Lamb) 3/4 cup cheddar cheese 1 egg 3/4 cup bread crumbs 1 finely chopped onion 1 teaspoon Worcester Sauce / Fish Sauce Tomato sauce 2 tsp crushed garlic Mix altogether except for tomato sauce and 1/4 of the cheese. Season to taste. Shape into a loaf and place it into an ovenproof dish. Bake for about 30 minutes at 200deg celsius; pour off the excess oil. Pour a large amount of tomato sauce over the loaf and sprinkle with the rest of the cheese. Bake for a further 20 minutes.
