Meatloaf

I used to make meatloaf often but not recently. I was surprised that I didn't have a recipe for it. Sort of winged it here but it ended up nice: tasty and moist. Really full of onions. Crispy outside.

On the downside, it was cracked on the top and sort of fell apart when served hot - but not sure if that's really a problem. Might be the sacrifice to make for it to be so moist. Or maybe add some more bread crumbs/oats?

I served it with some leftover tomato sauce, mash and creamed spinach and onion. Yum.

500g beef (organic, 20 per cent fat)
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, diced
1 egg, beaten
1/2 c plain yogurt
1/2 cup quick porridge oats (or bread crumbs)
1 tsp salt
fresh ground black pepper
1 tsp basil
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp thyme
2 Tbsp chicken stock

Mix all ingredients together with hands, until just combined. Put in baking dish and shape into loaf. Bake at 375F/170C fan for 1 hour.
