- Spray the form with spray oil or lubricate manually with vegetable oil using a brush.
- Spread minced meat very tightly. It is very important that there are no gaps, otherwise the loaf may crack. Carefully level the minced meat on the surface.
- Preheat the oven to 190 degrees. Set the meat loaf in the oven and bake for 90 minutes.
- Next you need to mix the sauce. Pour 180 ml of ketchup into a small bowl, add 1 tsp. hot sauce and 2 tbsp. l apricot or any other sweet jam. Do not be afraid that the sauce will be very sweet. Jam will give the sauce a unique sweet and sour taste.
