Beef mince, eggs, and bread crumbs are the main ingredients needed in order to achieve this rich and succulent meatloaf dish that will have your mouth watering.
This meaty dish is loaded with protein from its main component of beef mince. If you are wanting a healthier meatloaf, opt for a lean beef mince to avoid excess fat.
What is so great about this beef meatloaf is that it is basically foolproof- all you have to do is mix the ingredients together, cook, and voila! This recipe suggests that you spice the beef mince with onion, garlic, oregano, Italian parsley, and thyme leaves, but feel free to add whichever spices you desire!
The meatloaf is brushed with a tomato and tabasco sauce glaze. This creates so much more depth to the flavour profile- the sweetness of the tomato sauce combined with the spiciness of the tabasco sauce brings out the flavour of the meat perfectly. However, if you are feeling extra adventurous bake your meatloaf in a deep dish and add some grated cheese to the top for a perfectly cheesy topping that has been grilled to a crispy golden brown. Serve with any chutney as an added extra for your guests to bring a sweeter element to the meatloaf.
Pair this meal with a complementary red wine, such as a Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon and go on the ultimate meaty taste adventure!
