Ingredienser
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 cup crushed saltine crackers
  • 1 medium apple, peeled and diced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup bourbon
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup

fremgangsmåte
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, crushed saltine crackers, diced apple, chopped sage, egg, milk, onion, salt, and pepper. Mix with your hands until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
  • Shape the mixture into a loaf about 8 inches long and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
  • In a small saucepan, stir together the bourbon, brown sugar, and ketchup. Heat over medium heat for 3 minutes until the sugar dissolves and the glaze thickens slightly.
  • Brush half the glaze over the meatloaf. Bake for 30 minutes, then brush with the remaining glaze.
  • Continue baking for another 15 to 20 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees. Let the meatloaf rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Dice the apple into small pieces so it softens evenly without creating large wet pockets. If you want a stronger sage flavor, add an extra half tablespoon but avoid overdoing it or the herb can turn bitter against the sweet glaze. Leftovers reheat well in a covered skillet with a splash of water to keep the crust from drying out.
