Directions

1. MEATLOAF:
2. Combine all meatloaf ingredients except the milk in a large bowl (I find this is easiest to do with hands).

4. Form the mixture into a loaf shape and place in a baking/casserole dish big enough for the loaf to fit with additional room.
5. Place into 180º pre-heated oven for 30 minutes. Then pour sauce over meatloaf ensuring the entire surface gets a coating of sauce and replace in oven for another 30 minutes.
6. Remove from oven and serve.
7. SAUCE:
8. Combine all ingredients in a saucepan on a medium heat until it just begins to come to the boil.
9. Pour over meatloaf.
