Kategori American
serveringsstørrelse 4 people

Ingredienser
  

  • 1 lb ground pork
  • 1 medium apple, peeled and finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh sage, chopped
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 medium butternut squash, peeled and cubed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

fremgangsmåte
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, diced apple, chopped sage, onion, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix until evenly blended.
  • Divide the mixture into four portions and shape each into a small loaf. Place the loaves in a muffin tin or on a baking sheet lined with parchment.
  • Bake the meatloafs for 25 to 30 minutes until they reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees F.
  • While the meatloafs bake, place the cubed butternut squash in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for 12 to 15 minutes until the squash is fork-tender. Drain the water, then mash the squash with the olive oil, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  • Serve each mini meatloaf with a portion of the butternut squash mash on the side.

merknader

For best texture, grate the apple instead of dicing it if you prefer a more even distribution throughout the meatloaf. The mash can be made ahead and reheated gently on the stove with a splash of water to loosen it. If sage tastes too strong, reduce it to one tablespoon on the first try.
