Equipment
- 1 oven
- 1 loaf pan
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 baking sheet
- 1 meat thermometer
- 1 set measuring cups
- 1 set measuring spoons
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
- ½ cup milk dairy or non-dairy
- ½ cup onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup ketchup plus extra for topping
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, gluten-free breadcrumbs, milk, chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, ketchup, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated, using your hands if necessary.
- Transfer the meat mixture into a loaf pan and shape it into a loaf. Smooth the top slightly and spread a layer of ketchup over the surface to keep it moist and flavorful.

- Once cooked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
- Serve with your favorite gluten-free sides, such as mashed potatoes or green beans.
