Preparation

Heat oven to 175C conventional. Lightly oil a 25 cm loaf tin or line it with baking paper.
Mix breadcrumbs and milk in a large bowl and leave for 5 minutes to soften. Finely dice onion and finely grate carrot.
Add ground beef, onion, carrot, egg, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper to softened crumbs. Use clean hands to mix only until evenly combined; overmixing makes meatloaf dense.
Press mixture into tin and smooth surface. Bake for 45 minutes. Brush with remaining 2 tablespoons ketchup and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes.
Meatloaf is ready when its centre reaches 71C. Without a thermometer, open a small spot in the centre: no pink meat should remain. Rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
