Aussie Style BBQ Meatloaf
Ingredients Meatloaf: 1 lb lean ground beef 1 lb sausage, casings removed 1 cup fine breadcrumbs 2 medium onions, chopped fine 1 tablespoon curry powder 1/2 cup water 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped 1 egg, beaten 1 clove garlic, crushed 1/2 cup milk Salt & pepper to taste
Sauce: 1 onion, chopped very fine 1/4 cup water 1/2 cup ketchup 1/4 cup dry red wine OR beef stock 1/4 cup Lea & Perrins Worcestershire sauce 2 tablespoons vinegar 1 tablespoons instant coffee 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed 1 oz margarine 2 teaspoon lemon juice
Directions Loaf: Combine meats, breadcrumbs, onions, salt, pepper, garlic, parsley, curry & egg in a large bowl. Mix well. Mix milk & water, then add to meat mixture a little at a time until smooth but firm. Shape into loaf & put into a greased baking pan. Bake 30 minutes at 375ºF.
Sauce: Sauté onions in margarine until golden & add all other ingredients. Bring slowly to a boil, lower heat & simmer 10 to 15 minutes. (Great with ribs or chicken). After loaf has cooked for 30 minutes, pour half of the sauce over the meat, return to oven & bake 45 minutes more, basting often with remaining sauce. Serve loaf hot in thick slices with remaining sauce. Also makes great sandwiches.
