Jamaican Meat Loaf

Step by stepInstructions

1. Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly oil a loaf pan.
2. Combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, onion, scallions, garlic, thyme, scotch bonnet, carrot, Worcestershire, salt and pepper in a large bowl.
3. Mix with your hands until just combined — do not overwork the meat.
4. Press the mixture into the loaf pan and spread the ketchup over the top in an even glaze.
5. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, until the loaf is firm and the center registers 160°F (70°C).
6. Rest for 10 minutes before slicing, then serve with rice and peas, callaloo or fried plantain.
