 Serves 8

Ingredients:

For the meatloaf:

70g/1 1/2 pounds ground chuck; 1/4 cup minced onion; 1 large egg; 1/2 cup dry bread crumbs; 1 teaspoon salt; 1/4 teaspoon pepper; 1/3 cup chili sauce

For the topping:

1/4 cup crushed pineapple (drained); 1/4 cup chili sauce

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F. Spray a shallow baking dish (at least 7x11"). Make sure the baking dish has sides to catch juices.

In a bowl, combine the beef, onion, egg, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper and chili sauce. Mix until combined.

Shape the meat into a loaf and place into the prepared baking pan.

Bake for 55-60 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 70°C/160ºF  

In a small bowl, mix together the crushed pineapple and chili sauce. Brush this sauce over the meatloaf and return to the oven for an additional 15 minutes.

Allow the meatloaf to rest 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
