Meatloaf – Gluten & Dairy Free

I’ve never tasted Meatloaf but like most people, I know it’s really popular in the US. In my head I thought it would resemble something like a giant burger shaped like a rectangular loaf. How wrong was I.

It’s absolutely gorgeous. Tender and mouthwateringly moreish. I found this recipe on the website The Wholesome Dish. This is the original recipe The Best Classic Meatloaf Recipe but it contained wheat and milk. So, I decided to make my own gluten and dairy free version. You must use lean minced beef (5%) fat or you’ll end up with a greasy version.
