Most meatloaf recipes use 500g of mince. You'll get a BIG meatloaf with 1kg and this will affect the cooking time and temperature, which will also be dependent on what dish/pan you're going to put it in. A typical (500g mince) meatloaf pan is 22x12cm and a meatloaf that 'normal' size would typically take about 1 hour to cook at 180°C. Maybe you could make 2 meatloaves...
I have a favourite meatloaf recipe I make all the time, that has no flour or breadcrumbs although it does have rolled oats. It has the ingredients you want to use (onion, garlic, egg, salt) but also has others (carrot, apple, tomato paste, etc). I think your meatloaf would work but it will probably have a fairly basic flavour and maybe not hold together as well as one with flour or oats, etc.
Meatloaf
1 onion
1 small carrot
1 tart apple
2 cloves garlic (optional)
1 egg
4 tbspns tomato paste
1 tbspn soy sauce
2 tspns curry powder
1 tspn sugar
½ tspn salt
2 sprigs parsley
500g beef mince
1 cup rolled oats
Cut onion, carrot and apple into quarters and place in food processor. Add garlic, egg, tomato paste, soy sauce, curry powder, sugar, salt and parsley and process all until finely and evenly chopped. Remove and place in a bowl. Add mince and rolled oats and stir to combine. Press mixture into a loaf tin and bake at 180°C for one hour.
Oh, and I should add, the depth of a typical (500g mince) meatloaf dish/pan is 6-7cm.

Not sure what you are proposing there Plates...sear it once it is out of the tin? But the water has already been lost, no point in trying to sear it in (although the evidence says searing doesn't lock in juices anyway).
The reason for the bread/cous cous/oats addition is to sop up those juices and hold them in the meatloaf, meaning it remains moist and holds together.

Hi, I often make up the 1kg of mince for a meat loaf, then use half for the meat loaf and then use the rest for meat patties. I cook them, then freeze them and use them for homemade hamburgers or pop them on a BBQ. I have a grandson who will eat the patties but won't eat meat loaf!! Crazy I know!!

Thanks Helen. I can't take credit for it although I have altered a few things. I got the original recipe from the Dominion Post newspaper many years ago, probably in the 1980s. Years later I found out the recipe had been given by a Wellington reader named Lyndie Pillar. But I see the original recipe is also on the internet now and attributed to Alison Holst but it has microwave instructions only so I'm thinking maybe Alison invented the recipe for the microwave market and Lyndie took it and converted it to oven cooking, or maybe the other way around and Alison took Lyndie's recipe and converted it to microwave!
Anyway, the original recipe is here [reshipes.com] You'll see I've replaced the milk with tomato paste and deleted the sultanas (they're nice in it actually but my partner doesn't like them so I always leave them out now). Interestingly, my original newspaper recipe had the garlic as optional and the soy sauce as 1 teaspoon only, but I see Alison's version has the same changes I made to the recipe, i.e. garlic not optional and increased amount of soy sauce.
An extra note of interest re Lyndie Pillar. She was a neighbour of NZ Listener food column writer Lois Daish. There's an old (cached) Listener food page on the internet where Lois gives Lyndie Pillar's Anzac biscuit recipe out and says “My favourite Anzac biscuit recipe was given to me by Lyndie Pillar, who was my friend and neighbour in suburban Wellington in the 1960s. It was her baking of our traditional cakes and biscuits that made me realise they were among the best recipes in the world. Lyndie’s Anzacs were thin, flat and crisp, with a touch of chewiness in the middle. Here is Lyndie’s recipe, now in metric measurements. To measure the golden syrup, first dip the measuring spoon in boiling water, so that the syrup will slide off easily. Erratic measuring of the syrup is the main cause of problems in making Anzac biscuits.”

I have just made another, and I have a lot of what is described here.
