Awesome and you’re welcome:-)

Hi Julie, that sounds like a good idea to make a meatloaf. I just saw a meatloaf made in the slow cooker on Pinterest the other day so have a Google to establish some more info about how to do it and cooking times. Let me know how you get on as I did think it sounded like a great idea. The one I saw had a sauce over it, not sure if it was applied before or after cooking.

Hi Caroline, I don’t think it would work with shortcrust pastry because it tears really easily whereas shortcrust pasty is more elastic. On a Google search of short crust pastry plaits, nothing came up so I think that says it all.

Hi Derek, no, the recipe works perfectly. If you browned the mince it wouldn’t hold together plus it would be dried out from being cooked twice.

Yes, that should be fine Sharon.

Awesome Sena, so pleased you all like it!

Awesome Sena, so please you all like it!

Just made it for my fam jam and pickiest eaters liked it! Hooraaaah! Thanks for a great recipe!

Excellent Caroline, so glad you like the recipe and have made it last for 2 meals:-)

This recipe is a crowd pleaser in our house. We normally make 2 smaller plaits from this quantity, put in the oven on recommended temp and then take one out after 20 mins, cool and freeze. When we next want it, we defrost in the fridge overnight and cook for 25 mins. We’ve had with a huge salad as it’s hot outside tonight but also with sweet potato mash, broccoli and gravy in the past. Quick and easy and fussy eaters love it.

Hi Cindy, I haven’t tried this but I would advise freezing after plaiting the pastry and before adding the egg wash. Then thaw overnight in a fridge for the following night and bake.

Hi Renier, I’m sorry to hear that, no-one else has ever reported a problem. The recipe does say to bake until the meat is cooked as ovens can vary so much, a digital food thermometer is a great idea and I couldn’t live without mine.

Nah. Ingredients still taste raw…even after an hour 15 min. Would suggest to first frie everything in a pan before cladding with the pastry. Great idea though.

Thanks Maya, it is a very easy recipe:-)

It’s so good, I even made icing sugar in it the other day when I ran out. Recipe uses shop bought pastry so no worries there:-)
