This recipe serves 4 - 6 persons.

The savory loaf is ideal for freezing.

The proportions are easily doubled to make two meatloaves.

• 1 pound/500 gm premium grade ground beef

• 2 "heels" from a loaf of bread. These are the ends of a loaf of bread. Tear them up as small bread crumbs

• 1 onion, diced finely

• 1 carrot, diced into small cubes

• 1 heaped tbs plain flour

• 2 tbs light soy sauce

• 1 heaped tb sugar

• 1 ts stock powder

This makes a moist meatloaf. By using only premium grade ground beef, the meat tastes good and there will be no excess fat that will need to be drained off.

Serve with sides of crusty bread or short pasta with a crunchy green salad.

Now, how easy was that! Putting this together took minutes and the washing up is minimal.


Tips From Easy Recipes

  • I only ever use non-stick bakeware so as to avoid the step of greasing and lining tins. Furthermore, greasing does mean consuming additional fat which we do our best to minimize.

  • Only ever purchase the best grade ground beef products so that you are only every consuming good quality meat and not fatty cut-offs.

  • For breadcrumbs I use the heels of a loaf of bread rather than disposing of them.

  • Be sure to cut the vegetables small so that the mixture presses together firmly. If the pieces are too large, you'll find that the meat loaf will not slice neatly.
