Ingredients

500 grams ground meat ( Beef or goat)

1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon red chilli flakes
2 tablespoons tomato ketchup
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Combine all the above ingredients in a bowl and mix well to form a ball. Put it on an aluminium foil on a tray and shape it to make a loaf. Preheat the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for 1 hour.

Apply some barbecue or steak sauce (below) on the top of the meat loaf  and continue baking for 10 more minutes. Serve the meatloaf with salad of your choice and mashed potatoes

Sauce

Mix cornstarch in water and add all the other ingredients in the pot. Cook on medium heat till the sauce thickens. Serve with the meatloaf to add a little zing 😋

Mix all the above ingredients together and bake for 30 minutes.
