Week Four - Pot Roast Meatloaf

I’m a bit late in getting around to updating this, but my week 4 recipe was made on Sunday. It was back to one of my Jamie Oliver recipe books this week, and a pot roast meatloaf with a tomato sauce. Again, it was something I’d been meaning to try for a while, but just hadn’t got round to.

It was a simple recipe to make, with very little effort required – perfect for a lazy Sunday! The results were ok. I really liked the sauce surrounding the meatloaf – simple but very tasty and full of flavour, and something I definitely want to use again with other meals. However, the meatloaf itself didn’t really hold together well, and I felt it tasted quite bland. I had the leftovers for dinner again on Monday night, and it had improved slightly after sitting in the fridge overnight, but it was still lacking something.

This is a recipe I’d like to try again, but add some extras to the meatloaf mixture this time – definitely some garlic, and possibly some fresh rosemary through it too.

  1. Lack of seasoning is what let's a meatloaf down. You need to add Worcestershire sauce to the meat mixture.
