Peter Gordon’s simple meatloaf is really easy to make and truly delicious. It's also packed full of iron and protein. Plus, if you make up a little extra, turn them into patties or rissoles and freeze for a perfect quick fix for dinner when you're in a rush.

Method

For the meatloaf

To serve

Leftover mixture: Beef & baked bean rissoles

1

Preheat the oven to 170°C.

2

Line a deep sided 2 litre terrine tin (approx.. 27 x 11 x 11cm) with baking parchment, making sure there's plenty overlapping.

3

Line the base and sides with the bacon, also letting it hang over the sides.

4

Mix everything except the tomatoes together and season with 2 teaspoons fine salt and some pepper. This easiest done with clean hands.

5

Place half the mixture into the tin and press flat.

6

Pour the tomatoes over to top of the meatloaf, then fold the bacon over the top of the tomatoes.

7

Fold the overhanging parchment over then seal tightly with tin foil.

8

Sit the terrine tin in a roasting dish (the juices will bubble out a little) and bake in the centre of the oven for an hour.
