categories:  Beef    Pork  

Prepared: 2010-03-13

ingredients:

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1/2 pound ground pork
• 1 egg
• 1/3 cup finely chopped apple
• 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup bread crumbs
• 1/2 cup quick cooking oats

Preparation:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
• Mix the beef, pork, egg, apple, onion, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl until evenly mixed.
• Add the Cheddar cheese, bread crumbs, and oats; mix again until evenly mixed.
• Pack the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour.
• An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
• Allow the meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes before slicing to keep the meat from crumbling.

note: I used a non stick pan so I didn't grease it.
