This meatloaf is so simple but oh so tasty. I usually use a flavoured pasta sauce to give extra flavour & dried basil sprinkled on top of the tomato is fine if fresh is not available.
Ingredients:
500 g minced steak or 500 g ground beef
1 egg
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup tomato sauce or 1/4 cup pasta sauce
1 small onion, chopped finely
1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
2 tomatoes, finely chopped
200 g mozzarella cheese, sliced
10 basil leaves
extra tomato sauce (optional) or pasta sauce (optional)
Directions:
1. Combine mince, egg, breadcrumbs, sauce, parsley, onion and garlic. Mix well to combine.
2. Lightly press half the mixture into the base of a foil-lined 10x20cm loaf tin.
3. Top with tomatoes, cheese & basil.Lightly press remaining mince mixture over this and smooth top.
4. Bake at 200.C for about 1 hour or until cooked through.
5. About 10 mins before the end of coooking you can spread some extra sauce on top if you like.
6. Remove from tin & serve sliced with vegies or salad.
