10-minute meatloaf

I recently acquired this recipe from my mother, and it turns out to be just as delicious as I remember - and incredibly quick and easy to boot!
Ingredients
Group 1:
500 grams of beef mince
1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs (the packaged dry ones, not fresh)
1 onion, chopped
1 egg
2 tablespoons tomato sauce (note: I'm Australian, our tablespoons are 5ml bigger than everyone else's - not that I think it'll matter much in this recipe)
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon barbeque sauce
2 tablespoon chopped parsley
Other herbs and spices to taste: I used powdered garlic, about 1/2 teaspoon of paprika, and plenty of ground black pepper
Group 2:
3 hardboiled eggs, pre-prepared
1 cup grated cheese
A sprinkle of paprika
Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- A microwave-safe dish: ideally a loaf tin, but I used a microwave bundt tin, and you could probably use a casserole dish or whatever you have to hand.
Method
1. Mix together the ingredients in group one, until well combined (easiest to do it with your hands)
2. Line your microwave-safe dish with paper towel
3. Put 1/3 to half the mince mixture into the dish
4. Spread the eggs over the surface (if you're using a loaf tin, place eggs whole in a line down the centre; if you have more surface area, slice them in half and spread them around)
5. Top with the remaining mince
6. Cook on high in your microwave for 10-12 minutes
7. Top with grated cheese and sprinkle with paprika
8. OM NOM NOM
Makes 4-6 servings, depending on how hungry you are; reheats pretty well; can be sliced up to put in lunches / toasted sandwiches etc.
