Ingredients for Yummy Mummy Meatloaf

  • 675g beef mince

  • 1 egg

  • 1 medium onion, chopped

  • 240ml milk

  • 240ml dry breadcrumbs

  • 1/4 teaspoons salt

  • 1/8 teaspoons ground black pepper

  • 70g ketchup

  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

  • 2 tablespoons prepared mustard

  • 230g pappardelle pasta

  • 30g mozzarella ball

  • 1 can pitted large black olives

  • 180ml ketchup

  • 180ml water

  • 60ml brown sugar

  • 1/2 teaspoons prepared mustard

  1. Heat the oven to 177°C. Lightly oil a 10 x 13-inch (or 10-inch round) baking dish. Combine the meat, egg, onion, milk, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Shape the mixture into a 10-inch round dome and place it in the baking dish. Mix the 70g ketchup, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons prepared mustard in a small bowl until blended. Spread the mixture over the meatloaf. Bake for 1 hour. Transfer the meatloaf to a wire rack and let rest for 20 minutes.

  2. Cook the pappardelle according to the package directions; drain and keep warm while meatloaf rests.

  3. Combine all the ingredients in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until bubbly and thickened, about 3 minutes. Keep warm until ready to serve.

  4. Remove the meatloaf from the pan and place on a serving plate. Cut the mozzarella ball in half. Layer the pasta strands one by one over the meatloaf to look like a mummy's wrappings, adding the mozzarella and two olives for eyes as shown. Surround the meatloaf with more olives. Serve with the sauce on the side.
