Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
0.5 pound ground pork
1 egg
0.33333334326744 cup finely chopped apple
0.5 cup finely chopped onion
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
0.5 teaspoon salt
0.25 teaspoon pepper
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
0.5 cup bread crumbs
0.5 cup quick cooking oats

Method

Set your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, pork, egg, apple, onion, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper thoroughly. Stir in the shredded Cheddar cheese, bread crumbs, and quick cooking oats until everything is well incorporated. Firmly press the mixture into the prepared loaf pan.
Place the pan in the oven and bake until the centre is fully cooked, about 1 hour. The internal temperature should reach at least 160 degrees F (72 degrees C) when checked with an instant-read thermometer. Let it stand for 10 minutes before slicing to help it hold its shape.
