Ingredients

5 rashers streaky bacon, with the rinds removed
350 g/12 oz minced beef

Main course

Method

Use the streaky bacon rashers to line a 1-kg/2-lb loaf tin or large pudding basin. Mix all the rest of the ingredients together. Taste for seasoning. (Many people dislike tasting raw meat, but it really is essential if an insipid meat loaf is to be avoided. In fact it tastes quite good!) Fill the loaf tin or pudding basin with the mixture and cover with greaseproof paper or foil.
