APPLESAUCE MEATLOAF



Applesauce Meatloaf image

I was given this recipe by my matron of honor more than 25 years ago. It is a family favorite. It is quite different from the usual meatloaf, sweet enough that the kids love it, but the Dijon mustard cuts the sweetness so adults will enjoy it as well.

CRAZY BEST MEATLOAF EVER!



Crazy Best Meatloaf Ever! image

This meatloaf changes a little bit each time I make it. Whatever sounds good I throw in, its a really flexible recipe. I kind of took the basic Martha Stewart recipe I had seen on TV once and threw in a bunch of other stuff.

Categories     Pork

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 lb ground beef
1/2 lb ground pork
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups plain cubed dry prepared stuffing
2 tablespoons minced garlic cloves
4 ounces tomato paste
1 teaspoon salt & pepper
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 -3 dashes of any good barbecue sauce
1/3 cup French-fried onions (from a can works ) or 1/4 cup diced cooked carrot (from a can works )
2 ounces tomato paste
1/4-1/3 cup brown sugar
1 dash barbecue sauce

Steps:

  • Pre heat over to about 350 degrees.
  • I think the only way to make meatloaf is with your hands. Using a mixer or other stirring implement always seemed to make the meatloaf tough.
  • So throw everything into a great big bowl and mix it all up with your hands. I like to push the breadcrumbs into the meat and make sure they kind of break up a bit.
  • in a separate bowl mix together the last 3 ingredients - remaining tomato paste, brown sugar and BBQ sauce.
  • Throw the whole crazy meatloaf mess into a pan and spread the topping across the entire top.
  • Bake in the over for about an hour or until the center is done.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: For the best flavor and texture, use a combination of tart and sweet apples, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn.
  • Don't overcook the apples: You want the apples to be tender but still hold their shape.
  • Use a good quality ground beef: An 80/20 blend of ground chuck and ground sirloin is a good option.
  • Season the meatloaf well: Don't be afraid to use plenty of herbs and spices, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Cook the meatloaf at a low temperature: This will help to prevent it from drying out.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: This will help to keep the juices in the meatloaf.

Conclusion:

Crazy German Applesauce Meatloaf is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of sweet apples, savory ground beef, and tangy applesauce creates a flavor that is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve with mashed potatoes, green beans, or your favorite side dish.
