Apple Meatloaf

So... here's a recipe that is worth playing around with.

When I was trying to figure out what to make for dinner I looked in my freezer and found a package of ground beef. I did some searching around on the Taste of Home website (another favorite of mine) for some ideas. http://www.tasteofhome.com Why is it when looking to make something with ground beef the only ideas anyone (me and the website) seem to have are tacos, hamburgers, some sort of hotdish/casserole, meatballs, or meatloaf. I was looking for more of an inspiration. However, I did stumble across an Apple Meatloaf recipe that I figured I'd try out. I made it... and there are some adjustments I'd made to the recipe, so I'll post my "adjusted" recipe.. but it's worth a try for the different flavor. I'm not sure if I'm sold on it, but it was good for something different.

Apple Meatloaf 
1 small onion finely chopped
2 tsp butter
3/4 c shredded peeled apple
3/4 c bread or cracker crumbs
1 egg
4 tsp ketchup
1 tsp dijon mustard
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
dash of nutmeg
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp allspice
1 pound ground beef.

Saute onion in butter until soft. In a separate bowl mix apple, cracker crumbs, ketchup, mustard, egg, and spices. Stir in onion. Crumble in beef. Shape into loaf. Place in a greased bread pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes

However... I did make one of my favorite side dishes. I love Stove Top stuffing. I don't care what anyone says. I love it. Make a package of Stove Top stuffing according to the directions. Heat up a can of cream corn. When the stuffing is done and the corn has boiled, mix them together. It is awesome.
