  1. These were super tasty! I doubled the recipe and added equal portions of ground turkey breast / pork sausage. I added homemade BBQ sauce into the mixture and extra on top. I made 18 cupcake size muffins for about 113 cals each. Served with roasted carrots and green beans. My picky kids loved them!
     
  2. These were delicious and they look so nice on your plate. I used Panko crumbs & Chipotle BBQ sauce. The bake time was a little longer - I did 20 minutes at 375 and then another 20 minutes at 400 with the BBQ sauce on them. Thanks for a lovely dinner
     
  3. For a meat loaf recipe I found overall that this wasn't bad. I'm not much of a meat loaf person but my husband does so every so often I'll venture out of the norm and try to see if I can find a meat loaf recipe that I'll enjoy. I liked the flavour that the apple gave but almost wish there was a bit more of an apple flavour. This could be from the type of apples I was using. What also might have contributed to not being able to taste the apple flavour as well is that I used Italian herbed bread crumbs (didn't have plain available at the time). Overall, it wasn't too bad and maybe with a bit of experimenting, I can give it more of the flavour I would like. Thanks for the recipe and my husband enjoyed this and took seconds.
     
  4. This recipe is absolutely delicious I added 1/4 cup of dry cornbread dressing mixture instead of bread crumbs & omitted the parsley mainly because had none..it was so good....had 2 leftover meatloaves so chopped them up into a spaghetti sauce the next day ..my husband said OK this is what we should always use in spaghetti sauce from now on it was the best !! Thanks for the recipe..its a keeper !
     
  5. I enjoyed these. Really added a lot of BBQ sauce on top, and it helped with the dryness of pork. They were fantastic the next day, sliced and made into sandwiches!
