Glazed Meatloaf with Cheese, Baked Potatoes and Onions

Who says meat loaf is not good enough for guests? Properly made, it will always be a winner. This recipe is exceptional, the cheese and Liquid Beef Stock ensures outstanding flavour. The BBQ glaze gives it an appetising gloss and baking it on the perforated foil prevents a soggy oily base. Besides, cooking the potatoes and onions simultaneously works like a charm.

You Will Need:

Potatoes

Method:

Spread the grated cheese out on a plate and leave it in the freezer to firm.

Adjust oven rack to one slot below middle position.

Preheat the oven to 180 °C.

Place an oval plate on a larger piece of heavy duty foil and roll the foil up around the plate to form a rim.

Remove the plate.

Put the foil on a trivet or wire rack and poke draining holes into it with a sosatie stick, as illustrated in video.

Sauté the onion pre-seasoned with Green Onion Seasoning in the canola oil until completely soft and lightly browned.

Add the two sachets of undiluted Liquid Beef Stock.

Add the parsley and Garlic & Herb Seasoning.

Leave to cool.

Use a medium size mixing bowl and add the mince, sprinkle the gelatine powder over.

Add Tomato Pesto, egg, breadcrumbs and the onion.

Mix lightly with a knife.

Crumble the frozen cheese into the mixture and lightly mix it in.

Shape the mince into a domed oval loaf ± 4 cm high and transfer it to the prepared foil.

Coat the top generously with half of the Barbeque Marinade.

Cut the potatoes lengthwise into wedges and place them in a roasting pan.

Tuck the onion, cut into small wedges, in-between the potatoes.

Season generously with Potato Spice and drizzle with olive oil.

Place the trivet, with meat loaf on, over the potatoes.

Bake for 35 minutes.

Re-baste the top of the loaf with the remaining Barbeque Marinade and bake for another 10 minutes.

Turn the oven up to 200 °C.

Remove the rack with meat loaf and allow it to rest, lightly covered, while browning the potatoes for another 10 - 15 minutes at the higher temperature.

Remove the potatoes and onions.

To make the gravy add ± 2 T (30 ml) Ina Paarman’s Gravy Powder to 2 cups (500 ml) of water and bring to the boil and serve with the meat loaf.
