Instructions
PREP INGREDIENTS
Preheat oven to 220°C or 200°C fan bake. Bring a steamer pot of water to a boil for the potato. Spray a muffin tin or a loaf tin with oil. Peel and finely dice the onion. Peel and finely grate the carrot. Grate the cheese.
MAKE MEATLOAVES
Heat the oil in a large frypan on medium heat. Cook onion and carrot for about 5 mins, until tender. Then add both to a large bowl along with beef, Italian herbs, egg, breadcrumbs, half of the cheese and season with salt and pepper. Add half of the first measure of tomato sauce. Mix well to combine.
BAKE MEATLOAVES
Press about 1/3 a cup of the mixture into each muffin cup or press it all into whole loaf tin (if using). Spread over a layer of additional tomato sauce on top and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake for 15 mins (muffins) or 20-25 mins (whole loaf), or until golden and cooked through. Once cooked, rest for 5 mins, before slicing.
PREP & COOK MASH
Peel and dice the potatoes into 3cm chunks. Add to the steamer pot of boiling water and cook for about 12 mins, or until tender. Transfer potatoes to a large bowl. Reserve the steamer pot with water for the peas. Mash the potato with the second measure of oil and milk, until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
COOK PEAS
Return the steamer pot to medium heat, and top up with water if needed. When the meatloaves are resting add the peas to the steamer pot of boiling water for 2-3 mins, until tender.
TO SERVE
Divide the mini beef meatloaves with mash and peas between plates. Serve with tomato sauce on the side.
