Sauce
- 240 ml Passata

- 1 tbs Tomato Puree
- 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
- Salt and Black pepper
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add the mince beef, grated sweet potato, egg, herbs and spices and mix together until the mixture is full combined.
- Line a loaf tin with some parchment paper, this is to make sure it doesn’t stick to the tin.
- Add the meatloaf mixture to the loaf tin and push down to make sure it is compact.
- Wrap the loaf tin in cling film and leave in the fridge for 30 minutes for the meatloaf to really incorporate the flavours. N.B you can skip this step if you are short on time.
- Preheat oven to 180℃ or 350F (gas mark 4)
- Place in the oven and bake for 45 minutes.
- While the meatloaf is cooking, you need to make the sauce.
- In a saucepan, add the passata, tomato puree, stock, herbs, garlic powder and bring to a boil, then turn the heat down and simmer until the sauce reduces and thickens. Once ready, set aside.
- When the meatloaf has cooked for 45 minutes, remove from the oven.
- Increase the temperature of the oven to 200℃ / 400F (gas mark 6).
- Add some of the sauce on top of the meatloaf and then return back to the oven. N.B The sauce will go a darker red, this is meant to happen.
- Remove from oven, remove from the loaf tin, be careful as there might be some meat juices, you don’t need these, plate the meatloaf on a plate and let rest for 5 – 10 minutes before slicing.
- Serve with mashed potato and vegetables
