Apples keep this meat loaf moist plus provide a tiny twist to your average meat loaf recipe. Don't forget the dash of allspice to set it off right!
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 tsp butter
3/4 cup shredded peeled apple (cook's choice--I like granny smiths)
1/2 cup soft bread crumbs
1 egg
4 tsp ketchup
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
Dash ground allspice
3/4 pound lean ground beef
In a small skillet, saute onion in butter until tender. In a large bowl, combine the apple, bread crumbs, egg, ketchup, mustard, salt, pepper and allspice. Stir in onion. Crumble over beef over mixture and mix well. Shape into a 6 inch by 5 inch loaf.
Place in an 8 inch square baking dish coated with cooking spray. Bake uncovered at 350 for 40-45 minutes (or until no pink remains and a meat thermometer reads 160).
