Wild Rice Apple Meatloaf

Wild Rice Apple Meatloaf

This was a experiment that turned out really good. I had this at a local restaurant and could not find anything on the internet. I thought maybe I can contract the restaurant and see if I could get the recipe? But I doubt they would of gave it to me, so I came up with my own recipe.
