Meatloaf is classically made with breadcrumbs (or milk-soaked bread if you’re a bit extra), eggs, and often grated hard cheese of some kind. And when food allergies pop up, it can start to feel like you’ll never enjoy the classics again. And while we still wait and hope for suitable replacements for some things (lookin’ at you, hot dog bun), my version of meatloaf leaves nothing to be desired. Introducing, gluten free meatloaf that won’t leave you craving the actual thing.

The secret to this gluten free meatloaf is the way we bind it together, using a mix of meats to get the perfect ratio of fat, along with some potato starch for additional structure without any odd flavor. The way you mix the meat is also important – by hand, not squeezing too hard but gently folding enough to combine everything evenly. Once baked it’s tender, moist (everyone’s favorite word) and nobody would ever even know it’s been adjusted for any type of diet. It’s just all flavor.
Our wood grain Shaker cabinet fronts were designed for busy, high-traffic homes like ours. Clad with durable textured thermofoils, this line is compatible with Sektion, Akurum, Godmorgon, and Besta cabinets from IKEA. It's the perfect, practical way to add the warmth of wood to all the rooms of your home.
We have teamed up with Loloi to create a line of rugs that are as affordable as they are beautiful. This collection houses a great mix of traditional and modern rugs, in cottage-y colorways, as well as vintage-inspired beauties that you’ll want to roll out in every room.
We partnered with Stuga on a line of hardwood floors — The Ingrid is really livable, and the color is very neutral. It doesn’t lean warm or cool, it’s that just right in-between. We have really loved putting it everywhere in our house. It’s the best jumping-off point for design, no matter your interior style. In addition to being beautiful, Ingrid is really durable — we have three kids, and we always have a home construction project going on. Ingrid stands up to it all.

SO good! I’ve made this multiple times now. Texture and flavor are perfect. I use Worcestershire in the glaze and omit tiger sauce.
I made this tonight! My husband was skeptical when he saw no dairy or gluten but he raved about it! I used 1 lb pork and 3 lbs beef and it was perfect. Also, didn’t have tiger sauce so subbed picka pepper sauce and added a dash of cayenne to it. This recipe is a keeper❣️ Thank you
So glad you liked it!
Thank you for sharing this recipe- the meatloaf was delicious! For the glaze, I used Sriracha sauce instead of Tiger sauce. Not sure how the two compare, but the glaze was tasty…so good that I’m tempted to try it on chicken wings, yum! Definitely a keeper:)
So glad you liked it! Sriracha is a great sub. Different flavors, for sure, but both delicious.
Made this yesterday and it is delicious! Great flavor and the glaze is perfect
So happy to hear!
This looks delicious! I love meatloaf. Sadly my husband is allergic to mushrooms – do you think I can just omit? Or what would you recommend instead? Thanks!
You can definitely just omit it.
I’ve been reluctant to allocate cabinet space to a food processor but this mini one looks super useful – what model are you using here?
It’s from Ninja. I’m the same – I hate lugging out my giant food processor. This one does everything I need it to do and it’s super compact. Use it almost daily and it was super cheap – like $20 or less I think.
I’ve made a GF meatloaf for decades, incorporating chopped spinach to help keep it moist and nutritious. The recipe is called American Pâté; that’s how tender it is. I will experiment with your add-ins, Chris, especially the fennel seeds, which I have just harvested from my 12-foot tall fennel in the garden. Cheers!
Looks amazing! My daughter has given up beef. Did you ever try this recipe with ground turkey in the mix? I know it won’t be as good but curious. Thanks.
I haven’t. The water content in turkey might be tough to get the consistency right.
That looks so YUMMY! Though I have no restrictions, I still might try it!
