This meatloaf always comes out moist and tasty, any leftovers can be served on a bun with sauce. It's a great alternative to regular meatloaf with a little bit of sweetness. You don't have to have the sauce with it, it's good on it's own. Ingredients:
1 large apple, peeled,grated (1 cup) |
1 lb ground lean pork (or pork/beef, pork/chicken blend) |
1 yellow onion, finely chopped |
1 1/2 cups soft breadcrumbs |
1 egg, lightly beaten |
1/4 cup chopped parsley |
1 pinch dried sage |
salt and pepper |
1 -2 medium chopped onion (1/2 cup) |
3 tablespoons butter |
3 tablespoons flour |
1 1/4 cups beef or 1 1/4 cups chicken stock |
1 tablespoon chopped parsley |
1 teaspoon chopped dill |
1/4 cup apple cider or 1/4 cup apple juice (or wine, if you prefer) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325°F.
2. Combine apple, meat, onion, bread crumbs, egg, parsley and sage.
3. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Press into an 8 x 4 loaf pan or free-form into a loaf shape.
5. Bake for 1 hour, drain off any melted fat.
6. While meatloaf is baking, start onion gravy by cooking onions in the butter until carmalized, about 5 to 10 minutes, depending on how dark you like them.
7. Stir in the flour, until it looks kind of like a paste.
8. Add the rest of the ingredients, continually stirring.
