Introduction
A classic, comforting beef meatloaf recipe made naturally gluten-free with quick-cooking oats. It is incredibly moist, tender, and topped with a sticky, sweet, and savory ketchup glaze.
Step 1
Finely dice the onion, smash and mince the garlic cloves, and chop the fresh flat-leaf parsley.
Step 2
Add the ground beef, diced onion, minced garlic, eggs, 3 tablespoons of ketchup, 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, quick-cooking oats, milk, chopped parsley, Italian seasoning, kosher salt, and black pepper into a large mixing bowl.
Step 3
Gently mix all the ingredients together with your hands until just combined. Be careful not to overwork the meat to keep it tender.
Step 4
Transfer the mixture to a rimmed baking dish or casserole pan, and shape it into a loaf that is roughly 9 inches long by 5 inches wide.
Step 5
In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of ketchup, 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, and 1 tablespoon of coconut sugar (or brown sugar) to make the glaze. Brush the glaze evenly over the top and sides of the meatloaf.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Using quick-cooking oats instead of breadcrumbs keeps the meatloaf naturally gluten-free and prevents it from becoming too dense.
Avoid overmixing the meat mixture; overworking the beef will result in a tough, compact meatloaf.
Free-form shaping on a baking sheet or casserole dish allows the glaze to cover the sides and bake beautifully, compared to using a loaf pan.
Always let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes after baking so the juices redistribute, making it easier to slice without falling apart.
