Equipment
- 1 large mixing bowl
- 1 loaf pan (9x5 inches)
- 1 cutting board
- 1 baking sheet (optional)
- 1 aluminum foil (optional)
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs ground beef
- 1 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup milk or dairy-free alternative
- 0.5 cup grated onion
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cup ketchup plus extra for topping
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). If desired, line your loaf pan with aluminum foil for easier removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, gluten-free breadcrumbs, grated onion, milk, eggs, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
- Using your hands or a spatula, mix all the ingredients together until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can make the meatloaf tough.
- Transfer the meat mixture to the prepared loaf pan, shaping it into a loaf.
- Spread a thin layer of ketchup on top for added flavor and moisture.
- Place the loaf pan on a baking sheet (optional, for easier cleanup) and bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).
- Once cooked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and allow it to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This helps keep it moist.
- Serve with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables. Enjoy!
