Spicy Meatloaf

Submitted by KiwiHil

"This is a really tasty meatloaf - especially if you like things a little spicy. It came from my mother-in-law, we have it often. You need to cook it in a oversized tin, so you have room for the sauce."

I'd been looking for a more pork based meatloaf for a while and when I came across this I thought it was a good chance to sub the beef for pork. It didn't disappoint. Made it sans curry powder and with our favourite meatloaf sauce rather than the one listed. It was a nice recipe and we ate it all up - very flavourful and a nice change from beef mince (which I'm personally not that fond of). We don't have meatloaf very often but this is the recipe I'd come back to.
