1. Heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Heat the oil in a frying pan, then soften the leeks for 5 mins. Line the base of a 28 x 18cm baking tin with greaseproof paper.
2. Mix the mince, thyme, two-thirds of the breadcrumbs, leeks and egg together with a little seasoning, then tip into the tin. Press the mixture firmly into the tin, then ruffle the surface with a fork. Mix the remaining breadcrumbs and bacon together and scatter over the top. Cook for 15 mins, then finish under the grill until golden and crisp on top. Serve with boiled potatoes and carrots.

Making it seasonal

To make this dish even more seasonal, soften 200g/8oz peeled, cubed butternut squash with the leeks and add a handful of walnut pieces and cranberries to the mince.

  Very yummy, I made it for the family on a sunday instead of the normal roast, I was a tad nervous because they'd never eatten meatloaf before, but they all raved about it afterwards. I served with sweetcorn, roast parsnips and boiled potatoes. I would definately make this again and probably make extra for my boii's lunch!

  A nice cheap & cheerful supper. I use minced pork instead of turkey as it has more taste.

  Very nice - brilliant mix for burgers too.Needs to be balanced with plain boiled potatoes and Cauli/brocolli.
