š„ What Makes This Recipe So Good
Meatloaf is a comfort-food classic, hearty and satisfying and so easy to make. Gluten free meatloaf is no different! Itās got that incredible flavor and delightful texture of the traditional version, only itās made with zero gluten-containing ingredients. This recipe couldnāt be easier to make, and even better, itās completely foolproof. No more dry, over-baked, tough meatloaf on your dinner table! The gluten-free breadcrumbs bind the mixture together and help retain the moisture from the ground beef, eggs, and milk. The combo not only makes the meatloaf taste good, but it also makes it super tender and moist.
š©š¼āš³ Chefās Tips
Youāre welcome to use an 8Ć4 loaf pan if you want. We opted for a baking sheet covered in aluminum foil and shaped the meatloaf mixture into a loaf by hand. If you do the same, make sure you make the loaf as even as possible, so it cooks evenly from one end to the other. Lean ground beef is best to avoid a greasy meatloaf, but if your meat is too lean, you risk the dish turning out dry and crumbly. I recommend using 85/15 or 90/10 ground beef, or you can replace 1 pound of ground beef with 1 pound of ground pork. That blend gives the gluten-free meatloaf another layer of flavor thatās really nice! Meatloaf (traditional or gluten free) is great as a freezer meal. To freeze it unbaked, form the meatloaf as instructed, then wrap it tightly in 2 layers of plastic wrap followed by 2 layers of aluminum foil. Place the wrapped meatloaf in a food-safe sealable freezer bag and freeze it up to 3 months. Defrost it overnight in the fridge, top it with glaze, and bake as instructed below. To freeze cooked meatloaf, follow the instructions below. Let the loaf cool completely, then wrap it the same way and freeze it up to 3 months. Defrost overnight and reheat in the oven or the microwave!
