Youcould make up a basic savoury mince recipe and stuff some vegetables with it and top with grated cheese and breadcrumbs. The herbs or spice could depend on the vegetable, like for pumpkin I put in some nutmeg, for eggplant oregano, for capsicums add some cooked rice and pinenuts.

You don't need a loaf tin, as long as the mixture isn't sloppy you can just form it into a loaf shape or wrap in tinfoil.

I think you could pretty much make it up depending on what you have on hand. I would cook up some onions and garlic in oil or butter and add these to the mince along with a beaten egg, some tomato paste and herbs or choice, I think thyme would be nice, so would oregano. You could also "bulk it out" with some breadcrumbs. You could also mix in apacket of mushroom soup for a bit more taste.

If you have no loaf tin for a meatloaf grease a piece of tinfoil thin shape loaf mixture into a roll down the centre of it. Wrap tightly to compact the loaf then open the join again and fold back a little. Best to sit the roll in a baking dish so it doesn't leak into the oven.

I know this sounds odd, but you should try it! I received it from a TM poster years and years ago - I cannot account for its authenticity, but I know we (big whanau) really enjoy it.

I was going to do meatballs today, but reading a recipe book, decided on a mince curry potato pie and went with that. Figured out we had no curry (I thought I'd bought some, but no), and didn't have some other key ingredients, so changed it to suit what we did have. What a waste of time. turned out it was a cottage pie with a pastry base. But it was good, except I sort of expected the potato to not need salt & pepper. Next time, I'll forget the pastry, add more veges into the mince, throw some pumpkin or carrot in with the spuds and put some cheese on top (I did think about the last thing, but forgot). I guess at least it wasn't spaghetti or meatballs :)
