I have always wanted to try a meat loaf, from the time I saw it being made on a movie I have been dying to try making it and tasting what it tastes like.

The recipes that I have come across on the internet have always been complicated and use ingredients that are not readily available in South Africa.

That was until I came across a simple easy recipe for mini mustard meat loaves with apple chips.

I have never had apple chips either, so when I came across this recipe I was really eager to give both the meat load and the apple chips a try.

Ingredients for the mini mustard meat loaf:

• 600g x mince.
• 1 x baby marrow, grated.
• 1/3 x cup bread crumbs.
• ½ x tsp salt.
• ½ x tsp black pepper.
• 2 x tbsp. Dijon mustard.

Method for the meat loaf:

• Mix the mince, the seasoning, the grated marrow as well the bread crumbs.
• Mix well, so that everything is nicely combined.
• Divide the mixture into equal parts and shape into a loaf.
• Brush with the mustard and place on a greased baking tray.
• To make the apple slices, slice 3 apples into wedges and remove the core and seeds, toss into a bowl with fresh rosemary, ½ x tsp cayenne pepper and 1 x tbsp. cooking oil, toss to coat well and then place it around your meat load.
• Pop into a preheated oven and bake at 180 degrees for 30 – 45 minutes until the meat loaf is cooked.
• Remove from the oven and generously brush the tops of the loaf with some more mustard and garnish with chopped chives.
