Creamy tomato meat loaf



Creamy tomato meat loaf
Serves 6

Temp for baking: 160°C
Baking time: 1hour

21x14x7cm lightly greased loaf tin

750g minced beef
150ml sour cream
1pckt tomato soup mix
1ea onion, finely chopped
2ea cloves of garlic, finely crushed
Seasoning: salt, 5ml paprika, chopped red chilli (to taste)

Method:
1. Place beef in a large bowl with remaining ingredients and mix until well combined.
2. Press mixture firmly into prepared loaf tin, bake until well browned and firm in the centre. Turn out of tin, served sliced with salad or puree potatoes. For a very quick side dish you can serve it with instant mash or smash.

Tip: Instead of chopping the onion and adding it to the minced meat, rather grate it. This will ensure that the flavour is absorbed better into the meat than when chopped pieces are added.
