Ingredients

• 2 pounds ground beef
• 1 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• 2 large egg
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (ensure it’s gluten-free)
• 0.25 cup ketchup
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup ketchup (for topping)
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a loaf pan if you plan to use one.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, gluten-free breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Using clean hands or a wooden spoon, mix all the ingredients until well incorporated. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the meatloaf dense.

Step 4

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet or loaf pan. Shape it into a loaf form if using a baking sheet.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar for the topping. Spread this mixture evenly over the top of the meatloaf.

Step 6

Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 160°F (71°C).

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Step 8

Slice and serve with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables. Enjoy your gluten-free meal!
