775g extra lean minced beef

1 large onion, finely chopped

1 red pepper, finely chopped

50g fresh breadcrumbs

2 tbsp worcestershire sauce

2 tsp tabasco sauce

450g frozen leaf spinach, thawed

1 tsp grated nutmeg

2 small onions sliced into rings

frylight

Mix mince, onion, pepper, breadcrumbs, worcestershire sauce and tabasco and season.  Spread mixture out onto non-stick baking paper to form a rectangle 8 x 14 " (20 x 35cm).

Drain spinach and squeeze to remove excess liquid.  season with nutmeg and spread over mince to within ½" (1.2cm) of the edge.  Roll up meatloaf from the short edge, easing away the baking paper. 

Put into a lined 2lb (900g)loaf tin, sprinkle with the onion rings and spray with frylight.  Cover with foil and cook at 375ºF/190ºC/Gas 5 for 1 hour.

Remove foil, spray again with frylight and cook uncovered for a further 30 mins.  Serve hot with fresh vegetables & gravy.
