Apple-Cheddar Oat Meatloaf

Apple-Cheddar Oat Meatloaf blends juicy ground beef and pork with sweet pops of minced apple and melty Cheddar for a rich, slightly sweet-savory slice. Oats and breadcrumbs keep it tender while Worcestershire adds depth. It’s a cozy weeknight dinner or potluck favorite, especially served warm with mashed potatoes or a simple green salad.

Apple-Cheddar Oat Meatloaf
  1. 1

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

  2. 2

    Combine the beef, pork, egg, apple, onion, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl and stir until evenly mixed. Add the Cheddar cheese, bread crumbs, and oats; stir again until evenly mixed. Pack the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan.

  3. 3

    Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour.

  4. 4

    An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (72 degrees C).

  5. 5

    Allow the meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes before slicing to keep the meat from crumbling.
