Apple Meat Loaf

This is a slightly different version of a meatloaf made with raw apples instead of using apple sauce. This is delicious served with rice, mashed potatoes, or green beans and hot rolls. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 2 Tbsp. butter, melted
• 2 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
• 1 1/2 cups fresh bread crumbs
• 2 cups apples, peeled, cored and finely chopped
• 3 eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 Tbsp. chopped parsley
• 1/2 tsp. black pepper
• 2 tsp. salt (or less if you like)
• 1/4 tsp. ground allspice
• 1/4 tsp. dry mustard
• 1/4 cup catsup

Directions:

Saute onions in butter until soft. Combine all ingredients, mixing thoroughly. Form into loaf and place in 10x14 inch baking pan (or pack into a large greased loaf pan). Bake at 350 degrees F for 1 hour. Remove from oven and allow to sit for 10-15 minutes before serving.
