This is no ordinary meat loaf - the recipe is so good it's been passed down in our family for three generations. The zesty seasoning gives the flavor a spark. I remember Mom's delicious meals. She loved to serve this meat loaf. -Linda Nilsen, Anoka, Minnesota

My family & I love this meat loaf. The first time I made it was in 1995 & I have made it many times since then. I double the recipe & freeze one. It is the best. Pastagrammie.

This is a great meatloaf recipe! I have made it many times, minus the horseradish, and my family loves it. The allspice and dill weed give it a very nice flavor

This has a bit of a different taste from most meat loaves. The allspice and horseradish make it interesting. Not all members of my family were thrilled but I definitely liked it!

This is actually my husband's best meat loaf. You can't really taste apple but it's just a little different when you're thinking about trying someing new. 2lb ground beef 1/2lb pork sausage 3 eggs 2c. crushed corn flakes 3slices bread, crumbled 1/2c catsup 2T Worchestershire sauce 1-2tsp sage 1 apple, peeled and minced 1 onion, minced salt and pepper to taste In a large bowl, mix all ingedients well. Form into a loaf and bake 1 1/2 hours either in a loaf pan or on a cookie sheet with sides at 325F. I use whatever kind of apple we have in the house. Works great with tart Granny Smiths or sweeter Galas. Something like a Yellow Delicious seems too mushy for us but still lends nice flavor. I have been leaving the sage out for the last several times I've made this. Can't tell the difference; the dried sage container was who knows how old and didn't even smell like sage when I opened it so I tossed it and never invested in a new bottle. Kind of off on another tangent--instead of making the usual New Year's resolution to lose weight. We decided to cut the fat. Not just to lose weight, but to get rid of stuff that we haven't used in recent memory. For me, that involved cleaning out the spice shelf. It got tossed if it didn't smell like what the label said it was. Some containers I can't remember when I last used! Also getting rid of some kitchen gadgets--like the cookie press I had to buy from Pampered Chef 3 years ago. I used it once, thought it took too much work and there it sits in the pantry!
