750g minced beef
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tablespoon chopped ginger
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

2. Place mince, garlic, ginger, Worcestershire sauce, rosemary, salt and pepper, breadcrumbs, peas, parsley and eggs in a bowl and mix well.
3. Press on top of bacon then fold over to enclose. Place in oven and bake for 20-25 minutes.
4. Gently remove from trays and serve with salad.

Makes 18 mini meatloaves. Any left over meatloaves can be wrapped in cling wrap and frozen for another time.
