Method

  1. Mix together beef, breadcrumbs, spring onions, garlic, eggs, cumin, Tabasco, coriander and some seasoning until combined. Be careful not to over-mix or the meatloaves will be tough.
  2. Divide the mixture into 8. Use your hands to shape each one into a small oval, like a mini meatloaf. Arrange 3 cherry tomatoes on top of each, then drizzle over the chilli sauce, if using. Cook or freeze in airtight plastic containers.
  3. To cook, heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Place the meatloaves on a lightly greased, shallow baking tray and bake for 25-30 mins until the meat is cooked through.
  4. To cook from frozen, heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Place the meatloaves on a baking tray and loosely cover with foil. Cook for 30 mins, then remove the foil increase the temperature to 220C/200C fan/gas 7 and cook for a further 25 mins.

    Basically spicy burgers, although they were very nice spicy burgers. I halved the recipe and still came out with five good-sized patties. I also topped up my beef mince with a little quorn, which burned a bit but tasted fine!

    Yum, these were really great. I served with wedges, lime green beans and creme fraiche. My kids helped me make them and they were really easy. I made them in a muffin tin and got 6 out half the quantities of this recipe, wasn't enough as everyone wanted seconds!

    Made these in the week and they were great! Served them with corn on the cob. Yum! They are quite spicy - especially from the drizzle of chilli sauce over the top. I halved the recipe and everything worked perfectly still.

    I halved the quantities but still made 5 good size patties. They were rather bland but this may have been because I omitted the garlic and chilli sauce: my son still wasn't keen on them anyway.
