directions

Preheat oven to 375F.

Line a 9” X 5” X 2 1/2” LOAF PAN with parchment paper.

Place meat and spices in a mixer fit with the paddle attachment. Mix on low for 30 seconds. Increase speed gradually. Mix on medium-high until meat is even and smooth, about 1 minute.

Pack meat into loaf pan. Gently bang the pan against the counter to get rid of any air pockets.

Place the loaf pan in a casserole dish halfway filled with water to create a bain-marie. Bake on the middle rack of oven until internal temperature reaches 150F, about 1 hour 20 minutes.

While meat is baking, prepare donair sauce by mixing together evaporated milk with sugar in a bowl. Slowly pour in vinegar while mixing. Stir in garlic powder.

 

Refrigerate for a minimum of 15 minutes. Remove meatloaf from the oven. Carefully remove meat from loaf pan and let rest for a minimum of 10 minutes. Thinly slice donair meat and place on a pita. Sprinkle on onion and tomato then drizzle with donair sauce. Roll up and enjoy. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
