Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 piece onion, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 3 rasher bacon, chopped
  • 2 cups mixed vegetables, grated
  • 500 g chicken mince
  • 1 cup tasty cheese, grated
  • 1 cup fresh breadcrumbs Fresh breadcrumbs give a lovely texture.
  • 1 piece egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
  • 1 tsp chicken stock powder
  • 1/2 tsp curry powder Can be substituted with smoked paprika.
  • 1/2 tsp Italian mixed herbs Can add fresh herbs such as parsley or chives for a fresh note.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan forced).
  2. Sauté the onion, garlic, and bacon until softened.
  3. Allow to cool slightly and then combine with the remaining ingredients in a bowl.
  4. Press the mixture into a loaf pan.
Baking
  1. Bake for approximately 60 minutes until cooked through.

Notes

Let the loaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing to hold together. If the top browns too quickly, tent with foil for the last 15 minutes of baking. Store leftover meatloaf tightly wrapped or in an airtight container.
