Making meatloaf

Meatloaf is traditionally served with tomato sauce, and leftover meatloaf is great when put in sandwiches. This recipe is a bit fancier if you feel like a special meatloaf for dinner. It looks and tastes like a giant sausage roll! Photograph by Dean Wilmot / Bauersyndication.com.au.

Ingredients

Method

1.Preheat oven to 220ºC. Heat butter in frying pan. Add onion and fry gently for 2 minutes.
2.In a bowl, mix mushrooms, mince, salt and pepper and breadcrumbs. Shape into a roll.
3.Roll out pastry into a rectangle on floured board. Pop the meatloaf at one end and roll up, like a large sausage roll. Secure the ends and press together. You may have to trim the pastry.
4.Place on a greased tray seam-side down, brush with beaten egg and slash a few cuts in the top to let hot air escape.
5.Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until pastry is golden brown.
