Ingredients
2 large eggs
1/2 cup certified gluten-free quick oats
1/3 cup ketchup
1/3 cup finely chopped onion
1 tbsp gluten-free Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 lbs 85% lean ground beef
Glaze:
3/4 cup ketchup
2 tbsp brown sugar
2 tsp apple cider vinegar
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F. Cover the bottom of a small broiler pan with foil and place the insert over it. Alternatively, prepare a baking sheet with foil.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Blend in the oats, ketchup, onion, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Then add the ground beef and stir until evenly combined.
- Prepare Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together all the glaze ingredients until smooth.
- Shape and Bake: Shape the meat mixture into a loaf and transfer it to your prepared pan. Spread about one-third of the glaze over the top and sides.
- Glaze and Finish: After 45 minutes of baking, remove the meatloaf from the oven and apply the remaining glaze. Return to the oven and bake until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
Notes
Use certified gluten-free oats to avoid cross-contamination.
Ground turkey or chicken can be substituted for a lighter version.
Almond flour or crushed gluten-free crackers can replace oats if preferred.
Make ahead: Assemble the loaf and refrigerate (unglazed) up to 24 hours.
Leftovers can be sliced, wrapped, and frozen up to 3 months.
