Cheesy Apple and Oat Meatloaf

No one in our household liked meatloaf until I threw this together one day. Now even my picky 8-year-old will eat it! It is really moist which is why everyone likes it but has a bit of crust on outside.

Ingredients

• 1 egg
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• ½ cup quick cooking oats
• ½ cup bread crumbs
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 pound ground beef
• ½ pound ground pork
• ½ cup finely chopped onion
• ¼ teaspoon pepper
• ⅓ cup finely chopped apple

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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 (72 degrees C). Allow the meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes before slicing to keep the meat from crumbling.
