why is this called a "German" meat loaf?
Title: German Applesauce Meat loaf

I don't see anything that would especially make it German. It
does use ground pork but that's not unusual

Here's one that's real, which you are probably familiar with ...

Title: Falscher Hase
Categories: German, Groundmeat, Pork, Beef, Bacon
Yield: 4 Servings

1/2 lb Ground Beef; Lean
1/2 lb Ground Pork; Lean
1 Onion; Medium, Chopped
3 tb Bread Crumbs
3 tb Water; Cold
2 Eggs; Large
1/2 ts Salt
1 ts Paprika
1 ts Mustard; Prepared
2 tb Parsley; Chopped
3 Hard Cooked Eggs; Peeled
4 Bacon; Strips
4 tb Vegetable Oil
1 c Beef Broth
SAUCE:
1/4 c Water; Hot
1 ts Cornstarch
1/4 c Water
1/2 c Sour Cream

Thoroughly mix ground meats, onion, bread crumbs, 3 T cold water, and
eggs. Flavor with salt, paprika, mustard, and parsley. Blend
ingredients thoroughly. Flatten out meat mixture in the shape of a
square, (8 X 8-inches). Arrange whole hard-boiled eggs in a row
along the middle of the meat. Fold sides of meat patty over the
eggs. Shape meat carefully into a loaf resembling a flat bread loaf.
Occasionally rinse hands in cold water to prevent sticking.

Cube 2 strips bacon; cook in a Dutch oven about 2 minutes.
Carefully add the vegetable oil; heat. Place meatloaf in the Dutch
oven and cook until browned on all sides. Cut remaining bacon
strips in half and arrange over the top of the meatloaf. Place
uncovered Dutch oven in a preheated oven for about 45 minutes.
While meat is baking, gradually pour hot beef broth over the top
of the meatloaf; brush occasionally with pan drippings. When done
remove meat to a preheated platter and keep it warm.

Add 1/4 cup of hot water to pan and scrape all the particles from
the bottom. Bring to a gentle boil and add cornstarch that has
been mixed with 1/4 cup water. Cook until bubbly and thick. Remove
from heat and stir in sour cream. Reheat to warm. Season with
salt and pepper if desired. Serve the sauce separately.

MMMMM

Cheers

Jim

Doesn't ring any bells but my mom, despite her German ancestry, was not
into German cooking. Only time she tried to make sauerbraten, she used a
cut of venison that didn't go well with the marinade. Enough of my
siblings didn't like it that she never tried it (or anything similar)
again. Her meat loaf was a very basic one--meat, egg, s&p, milk, a bit
of worchestershire sauce and bread crumbs (or sometimes oatmeal).
Nothing fancy, just something to fill the stomach.
