Ingredienser
  

  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 1 medium apple, peeled and diced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 slices bacon
  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (for sprouts)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (for sprouts)

fremgangsmåte
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, diced apple, chopped sage, breadcrumbs, egg, onion, garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix with your hands until the ingredients are evenly distributed but not overworked.
  • Shape the mixture into a loaf about 8 inches long and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Lay the bacon slices over the top and sides of the loaf, overlapping slightly so the meat is fully covered.
  • Toss the Brussels sprouts with the olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a separate bowl. Spread them around the meatloaf on the baking sheet.
  • Bake for 45 to 50 minutes until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 160°F and the bacon looks crisp. Let the meatloaf rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve the Brussels sprouts on the side.

merknader

If the bacon starts to brown too quickly, loosely cover the loaf with foil for the last 10 minutes. Leftovers keep well in the fridge for three days and reheat best in a 350°F oven to keep the bacon crisp. Use a firm apple like Granny Smith if you prefer less sweetness in the loaf.
