Ingredients

Equipment

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F, 190°C, Gas 5.
  2. If you haven’t boiled the eggs, now is a good time to do it.
  3. Boil some water in a saucepan, then add the eggs to the boiling water. Boil for 10 minutes, then drain. Immediately add cold water. Drain after 5–10 minutes, then add more cold water to cool right down. This method prevents graying around the egg. Pop it in the fridge.
    6 Boiled Eggs
  4. In the food processor, blitz the onion and garlic finely.
    2 Garlic Cloves, 2 medium Red Onions
  5. Remove the skin from the sausages.
    500 grams Good Quality Sausages
  6. Add sausages to the food processor.
  7. Add the steak mince, reggae sauce, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, cumin, paprika, and salt to the food processor. Blitz using the pulse button until all is fully combined.
    500 grams Lean Steak Mince, 2 tsp Worcestershire Sauce, 80 grams Reggae Reggae Sauce, 1 tbsp Smoked Paprika, 1 ½ tsp Cumin Seeds, 1 pinch Himalayan Salt, 1 tsp Dried Thyme
  8. Remove half of the raw meatloaf mix and place it on a pizza tray. Make sure the tray is on a flat surface. Form an oval shape about 2 inches thick.
  9. Remove the eggs from the fridge and shell them. Rinse under cold water to remove any loose shells.
  10. Place the eggs side by side on the raw meat.
  11. Don't worry if you don't use all the eggs. Put them in a container and put them in the fridge to use them up another day.
  12. Now take the rest of the raw meatloaf, pat gently into the eggs, and shape it into a look-a-like loaf of bread.
  13. Top with bacon, leaving as few gaps as possible.
    250 grams Smoked Bacon
  14. Place the pizza tray onto the roasting pan; this catches the oil.
  15. Place in the oven and cook for 60-90 minutes.
  16. Check your meatloaf halfway through cooking; if the bacon is burning, cover lightly with foil.
  17. While the meatloaf is cooking, prepare your vegetables and gravy.
  18. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Here are some top tips to help you succeed in making a Reggae Meatloaf like a pro:
  1. The reggae meatloaf calls for making it flattened and somewhat elongated, much like a loaf of bread. After adding hard-boiled eggs, the meatloaf is topped with more meat mix and decorated with bacon.
  2. The meatloaf must be placed on top of a pizza-like tray with holes to allow excess fat to drain into a roasting pan. This cooking method ensures a healthier meal.
  3. Reggae Reggae Sauce by Levi Roots adds a Caribbean twist, but any brown sauce can be used. Let us know your favorites in the comments below. This sauce includes Scotch bonnet, chili, allspice, and Caribbean herbs, which give the meatloaf a unique flavor. After cooking, it can also be drizzled over the meatloaf to enhance the flavors.
  4. The recipe can be adapted to create mini meatloaves, which look great on a dinner plate. Each mini meatloaf will have more bacon around it to create a crispy crust.
  5. Before serving, let it rest for 5 minutes for the best flavor and texture.
  6. Bacon: Alternative to smoked bacon use non-smoked or turkey rashers.
  7. Eggs: Feel free to omit them.
  8. Worcestershire Sauce: Alternatively use balsamic vinegar or completely omit it.
  9. Reggae Reggae Sauce: Alternatively, use brown sauce, BBQ sauce, daddy sauce, or anything similar.
