How to Cook Graham's Meatloaf
- Either crumble the bread between your fingers, or give it a few pulses in a food processor to make breadcrumbs. Peel and chop the onion. Finely chop the oregano and parsley. Mix ALL the ingredients (except the bacon) in a large bowl until the mixture lifts away easily from the sides of the bowl and forms a ball.
- Form the mixture into an oblong shape and place in a loaf tin. Lay the strips of bacon over the top and bake in a preheated moderate oven (Mk 4 - 350ºF - 180ºC) for 50-60 minutes until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
- Serve hot with Stir Fried carrots with Orange and Irish Style Champ or serve cold with Potato and Egg Salad.
GRAHAM'S HOT TIP:
If you don't have a loaf tin, don't worry because Meatloaf holds its shape well. Just form the mixture into the shape of a house brick, place it on a baking sheet, and lay the bacon over the top.
Reviews of Graham's Meatloaf
 August 04 2014YUMMY!!! Made this dish for company the other night and WOW! It was a BIG hit! My 8 yr old had 2 huge pieces and my hubby even had leftovers for breakfast the next morning while we were all still sleeping! I used seasoned breadcrumbs, threw in some garlic powder and parsley flakes and doubled the ketchup mixture. Seasoned breadcrumbs are a must for this recipe; Would be very bland without them. Thanks for the great recipe! :) madelyn (6 reviews) |
April 11 2014 I know my meatloafs and this is pretty good! I made a few 'changes' based on my experience... I sauted the onion, used seasoned bread crumbs, doubled the ketchup mixture and replaced the brown sauce with a couple of teaspoons of mustard. Also, I line the pan with foil for easy clean up. And finally, you must let the meat rest before slicing. josie (5 reviews) |
 April 28 2013Being British, I've no way of comparing this to the way Americans make it, but my sister-in-law is from California, and she loved it, so I guess it works! I confess that I prefer a nice Scotch Pie or something similar. I guess it's just a question of different cultures. Nothing wrong with it, but just doesn't light my fire. pammy (7 reviews) |

If ever there was an underrated "stew", Daube Provençale is it! Daube is tender and carries the exquisite taste and aromas of the Mediterranean
The centre cut steak is taken from the 'thick flank', between the rump and the topside and silverside. This produces a very lean steak
Guinness Beef Stew is one of those strange culinary mixtures that works. The malty flavour of the Guinness adds depth to the meat.
