Ingredients
  

  • 1 kg beef mince 2 1/4 lbs (ground beef)
  • 1 whole onion peeled and grated
  • 1 whole Carrot peeled and grated
  • 1 whole egg beaten
  • 80 g breadcrumbs (1 cup) fresh
  • 2 cloves garlic crushed
  • 2 tbsp tomato sauce (ketchup)
  • 2 tbsp worcerstershire sauce
  • 1 handfull parsley flat leaf ,chopped
  • salt + pepper to taste
Glaze
  • 80 ml tomato sauce (1/3 cup) (ketchup)
  • 80 ml worcerstershire sauce (1/3 cup)
  • 60 g brown sugar (1/3 cup)
  • 80 ml water (1/3 cup)

Method
 

  1. Place all the ingredients for the meatloaf into a large bowl and mix together with your hands. Season generously with salt and pepper and allow to rest for several hours in the fridge.
  2. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Lightly grease a large roasting dish. With wet hands, mould the meatloaf mixture into a long log and place it in the dish. The thinner (and longer) the log, the more delicious crust you will have. If you prefer, you can make two smaller logs.
  3. Mix together the ingredients for the glaze and pour it over the meatloaf. Cook for 1 hour, basting often, until glazed and brown.
  4. Note: To make fresh breadcrumbs, removed the crusts from good-quality white bread or sourdough and process until fine crumbs are formed.
