Serves 8
1 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
½ tsp dried thyme
Salt and black pepper
3 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
80ml chicken stock
1 tbsp tomato purée
1kg lean beef mince
60g breadcrumbs
2 eggs, beaten
80ml ketchup
40ml American mustard
- Preheat the oven to 170˚C/150˚C fan/gas mark 3. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Heat the olive oil in a pan over a medium-low heat. Cook the onions, thyme and some salt and black pepper for five minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and translucent but not brown.
- Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, chicken stock and tomato puré Remove from the heat and transfer to a large bowl. Allow to cool.
- Add the beef mince, breadcrumbs and eggs, and mix lightly with a fork until just combined; do not over-mix.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking tray and shape into a rectangular loaf.
- In a small bowl, mix the ketchup and mustard together. Spread the mixture evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
- Place the meatloaf in the oven. Fill a baking tin with hot water and place on the bottom shelf of the oven; this will prevent the top of the meatloaf from cracking. Bake for 1¼ hours or until cooked throughout.
- Allow the meatloaf to cool, then slice. Wrap the slices individually and use to make sandwiches through the week.
