Pork and Apple Meatloaf
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb (675 g) lean ground pork
- 1 1/2 cups (375 ml) peeled and grated McIntosh apples (about 3 apples)
- 1/2 cup (125 ml) breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) chili powder
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) dry mustard
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) Worcestershire sauce
- 7 slices bacon, approximately
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) apple jelly, melted
- Homemade or store-bought applesauce, to taste
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
- In a bowl, combine the meat, apples, breadcrumbs, spices, and Worcestershire sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
- With the meat mixture, shape a 25 x 10-cm (10 x 4-inch) loaf on the baking sheet. Place the slices of bacon, side by side, diagonally on the loaf to thoroughly coat the meat. Bake for about 1 hour. If you use a meat thermometer, it should read 82 °C (180 °F). Remove the meatloaf from the oven and brush with the apple jelly. Finish cooking under the broiler until golden brown.
- Top with applesauce and serve with mashed potatoes and green beans.
