2 lbs (1 kg) Lean Ground Canadian Pork
1 cup (250 ml) finely diced onion
1 cup (250 ml) fresh breadcrumbs
1 cup (250 ml) milk
1/2 cup (125 ml) apples, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup (125 ml) chopped parsley
2 tbsp (25 ml) Dijon mustard
1 tbsp (15 ml) chopped fresh sage
1 egg 1 tsp (5 ml) EACH salt and ground black pepper
2 tbsp (25 ml) butter 1 medium onion, sliced
2 tbsp (25 ml) all purpose flour

Directions Pre-heat oven to 350°F (180°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine ground pork, onion, breadcrumbs, milk, apples, parsley, mustard, sage, egg, salt and pepper, being careful not to overwork the mixture. Place in a greased medium loaf pan. Place pan on a baking sheet and bake for about 90 minutes or until the middle of the meatloaf registers 160°F (71°C) on a meat thermometer. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt butter. Add onions. Cook onions until browned. Remove from heat, stir in flour until fully incorporated. Return to heat and whisk in bouillon. Bring to a boil and adjust seasoning. Simmer for about 5 minutes. Serve with meatloaf. Note: Always cook ground pork to well done.
