The Yummiest Meatloaf Ever

When I saw the Greek meatloaf Peter over at Kalofagas had made a while back, I had to make it the very same day!

I've now made it twice and each time I've served it with lemon roasted potatoes, which, I must say seem to look very pale in this picture.

I didn't mess about with the recipe at all - I followed it very nearly almost exactly! All the ingredients were followed as Peter says to in his recipe here.

I only used one slice of bread for the breadcrumbs, then added them to the mixture and poured the wine over the bread instead of soaking the bread in water. Also, I didn't have a sausage to go in the middle and I made the loaf in a bread tin, just for quickness. 

Here it is pictured at the stage where the bacon that was placed over the top has crisped up a bit after being in the oven.

The tomato sauce is then poured on top and the meatloaf then goes back to the oven to cook further.

I must say this was one really yummy meatloaf - thank you Peter.

  3. I had bookmarked that one to try as well. A meatloaf with bacon, sausage and tomato sauce would be really tasty!
