This is an easy dish to make after work. You can mix it the night before, keep it in the fridge and just pop it in the oven when you get home.
"Keep longer in oven for a delicious crust"
Ingredients
4 slices of bread
1 carrot
1 onion
2 cloves garlic
8 button mushrooms, sliced
½ kg of minced meat
½ cup tomato sauce
2 tsp mustard
1 egg + 1 egg yolk
Seasonings:
1 tsp each of salt, pepper, paprika, brown sugar, cumin and olive oil
Meatloaf Glaze:
¼ cup tomato sauce
2 Tbs barbecue sauce
1 Tbs mustard
1 tsp brown sugar
Serves...
4 - 5
Seriously tasty and filling
Method
In a food processor blitz bread, carrot, onion and garlic.
Transfer blitzed ingredients into a bowl and mix evenly with minced meat, mushrooms, seasonings, ketchup, mustard and eggs.
Use hands to press mix into a loaf pan. Brush the top of the loaf with a bit of egg.
Preheat your oven at 200°C and bake for 45 minutes. If you like a crunchier crust, add an extra 10 minutes to baking time. Just check regularly so you don't burn it.
Rest meatloaf for 15 minutes before slicing. This is so that all the juices will flow back into the meat making it succulent.
The trick for making your meatloaf super tasty is to do a savoury glaze that you spread on top that finishes it off. You can experiment a little on the glaze as long as it contains tomato ketchup.
Meatloaf Glaze:
Mix all together and spread it on the meatloaf before serving.

I made this on Friday night with some variations, it turned out pretty well, moist and tasty. I used minced chicken, a whole can of button mushrooms chopped, added in a stick of celery finely chopped, doubled up the cumin and used oregano for additional flavour.
Finally, I baked it 190C for 60 minutes.
Oh yes, I had made some BBQ sauce earlier so I used that for the glaze.
Thank you to the chef-in-residence for adding another recipe to my box
