Marvelous Meatloaf (Or Stuffing If You Prefer)

Last Sunday my Mum cooked a delicious chicken roast dinner with all of the trimmings. I have to admit that we usually cheat with the stuffing and buy Paxo as it is always tasty and simple to cook. However, with some frozen sausage meat left from Christmas, Mum decided to make her own and it really was to die for!

The reason I title this post as meatloaf is because I feel this recipe is a little too special to be classed as stuffing; yes, it makes a cracking accompaniment to roasts but served on its own with some mashed potato and gravy would make the a perfect comforting meal – ideal for these dreary days.

Oh and by the way we still cheated a little by including Paxo in the recipe, I mean why change a good thing right?! Simple is key when we’re all so busy these days!

Here’s the recipe:

Ingredients

1 tbsp Olive Oil

1 Crushed Garlic Clove

1 Packet of Paxo Sage & Onion Stuffing Mix

100g Lean Streaky Bacon

300g Sausage Meat

1 Chopped Onion

Method

  1. Heat the olive oil and add the garlic and onion. Sauté until lightly brown.
  2. Put the sautéed mixture into a bowl and add the sausage meat and stuffing.
  3. Line a meatloaf tin with the bacon and add the mixture.
  4. Bake at 100oC for 40 minutes.
