  • Add the rest of the ingredients and process for about a minute to thoroughly combine everything
  • Sausagemeat, minced beef, eggs, tomato puree, Worcester Sauce, herbs, salt, pepper
  • If your processor can't take the load, process in 2 batches

Notes

A 2lb loaf tin isn't a standard size. If the capacity of your tin is 1.25 litres, this quantity is fine. If your tin is 1.75 litres, you can increase the amount of sausagemeat to 450g.
