350g (12oz) minced lamb
1 crumbled stock cube
1 tbsp onion (finely chopped)
1 thick slice of white bread (remove the crust)
1 free range egg
1 tsp mixed herbs
salt & pepper

Firstly heat your oven to gas mark 4/180/350F. Place the slice of thick bread into a small bowl, cover with enough water to soak the bread. Leave for around 5 mins, then remove bread and squeeze it to get rid of the water. Next mix bread with remaining ingredients in a bowl. Shape the mixture into a loaf shape then put on a baking tray. Place meatloaf into the oven and cook for between 35-45 minutes or until the juices run clear when you pierce it with a skewer/knife. Delicious served with mashed potatoes, veg and gravy.
