Phil’s Meatloaf
500g Prime minced beef
500g Sausage meat
One packet French Onion Soup mix
One packet Tomato & Vegetable soup mix or, Spring Vegetable soup mix as an option
One cup rolled oats
One cup Sultana Bran ground fine
Two eggs
Half a cup grated Parmesan cheese.
Healthy slurp of Worchester sauce (my favourite is the Wicked Wives sauce available in Sale)
Slurp of Soy Sauce

Mix all ingredients, line a 1.5 litre loaf tin with bacon and then fill with the meat loaf mix.
Bake at around 190 deg C for approximately 1 hour
Turn out and let any fat drain off

Then the best part Eat it!!

Some variations, I some times mix in half a can of Baked Beans, or Chives, or a slurp of plonk depending on what's in the cupboard or my mood some times I substitute the bacon for sliced tomato or onion, grated apple in the meatloaf mix gives a nice sweet meat loaf.

Basically I use the basic recipe above and if I feel adventurous I try some variations.


Phils’s Fruit Cake

1Kg Mixed Fruit
120g Glacied Cherries
1/3 Cup of Milk
¾ Cup Sherry or Brandy (allow for slips and slurps)

½ Teaspoon Mixed Spice
200g Softened Butter
