Meatloaf


For two. You can also make the full recipe.


In a medium bowl combine

  • ½ finely minced onion
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp BBQ Sauce, ketchup or tomato paste
  • ¼ cup breadcrumbs (or oatmeal)
  • ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ teaspoon Balsamic vinegar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Don't put too much nor too coarsely chopped onion in, or you'll get soup. Anyhow, mix it all up and then slowly mix in


  • 1 pound ground beef
  • ½ pound sausage
Start with the sausage and incorporate all the other stuff, then add the beef. Don't mix ground beef too aggresively. Squish it all together using your hands. Press into 1 liter glass pan. In a small bowl combine:

  • ½ tbsp light brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp Diana's Spicy BBQ Sauce (or ketchup)

Then smear the goo over the top of the meatloaf. Put it in the fridge for a bit. Meanwhile, peel potatoes, cut into medium sized chunks (likely in half) and put in pot of salted water on a cold stove. Then go do other things.


Preheat the oven to 350.


Stick a probe in the meatloaf near the top. Put the loaf in the oven and bake it for


an hour and a half at 350

Get the potatoes boiling and then leave at a simmer.


Check the meatloaf. The probe should read at least 180, and if you dig around you'll get varying opinions on what the temp actually is. When you're pretty sure it's not likely to give you e-coli turn the oven off, leave the meatloaf in there and carry on with the rest of supper.


Check the potatoes. When done, drain and put back on the turned off burner to dry.

Eet Smakelijk.
