APPLE CURRY MEAT LOAF
The sweet taste of apple and “ketchup” contrasted with curry, makes this meat loaf really tasty. My son, Jonathan, absolutely loves this meatloaf and he is not really a meatloaf fan. Ginny Larsen, one of the cookbook authors in the Low-Carbing Among Friends series of cookbooks loves this meat loaf as well. One of my faves too!
