Pineapple Meatloaf

The problem with meatloaf is that sometimes it can dry out and become crumbly. For the longest time, I would remedy this by adding either water to my meatloaf. Which worked fine, but I always felt that this diluted the flavors I was looking for. So, I tried different things, looking for something to add both flavor and moisture. Then one day, I was visiting my father-in-law and he mentioned that he used to add pineapple to his meatloaf. He explained that the fruit not only added the necessary moisture, but also added a hint of sweetness.

So I took my own recipe for meatloaf, added pineapple to the loaf itself and mixed pineapple juice with Worcestershire sauce and ketchup.

Ingredients

• 1lbs Ground beef

• 1 onion

• 1 egg

• 1 cup Breadcrumbs

• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Prep

Spread ketchup mixture over the top of the loaf and bake an additional 15 minutes.
