Equipment

  • blender
  • oven
  • Loaf tin
  • Roasting tin

Ingredients
  

For the Meatloaf

  • 1 cup freshly made breadcrumbs
  • 1 small onion peeled and cut into chunks
  • 1 medium egg beaten
  • 1 pound extra lean ground beef (I use ground steak)
  • 2 TBS hot pickled pepper strips optional
  • 1 TBS Worcestershire Sauce
  • ¾ teaspoon dry mustard powder
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ⅓ cup whole milk
  • ½ cup grated cheddar cheese

For the glaze

  • ¼ cup tomato ketchup
  • ¼ teaspoon dry mustard powder
  • 1 TBS soft light brown sugar packed
  • ½ TBS liquid from the hot peppers jar

Instructions
 

For the Meatloaf

  • Place the onion, pickled peppers, egg, Worcestershire sauce, dry mustard powder, salt, pepper and milk into a blender. Blitz until smooth.
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/ gas mark 4. Have ready a large shallow roasting tin. Line a small loaf tin with plastic cling film.
  • Place the meat, breadcrumbs and cheese into a large bowl. Mix lightly together.
  • Pour the mixture from the blender over top. Mix this into the meat and breadcrumbs lightly with your hands, until well combined.
  • Pack lightly into the lined loaf tin, smoothing over the top.
  • Tip the meat mixture into the middle of the roasting tin, removing the loaf tin and discarding plastic cling film.
  • Bake for 30 to 35 minutes.
  • Whisk together the glaze ingredients until well mixed. Remove the meatloaf from the oven and brush this mixture overall.
  • Return to the oven and bake for a further 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to stand for 10 minutes before cutting into slices to serve.

Notes

For a more indulgent version, add strips of bacon on top before baking.
