Instructions

Meatloaf

Preheat oven to 350º
Add olive oil to a large non-stick pan, add the onions and celery to the pan
Cook for 10 minutes and remove from pan, set aside and allow time so they are cool to the touch
Combine all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl. With clean hands, mix all the ingredients together until well incorporated
Divide mixture into three equal parts and form the loaves either freehand or use a loaf pan. If freezing, allow the mix to firm up in the freezer for awhile before removing from the loaf pan, wrap well, mark the date on package and freeze.
Bake for 1 hour at 350º directly in loaf pan or arrange the free form loaves on a baking sheet or in a shallow pan.
If adding cheese, about 10 minutes before the meatloaf is done cooking remove from oven and drain any excess juices and add the cheese. Return to the oven and cook for the remaining 10 minutes.
Serve with roasted tomato ketchup (optional)

Breadcrumbs

Leftover gluten free bread makes perfect breadcrumbs. Cube leftover bread and place on a baking sheet. Bake in a 350⁰ oven until crispy. In a food processor, pulse cubes into a fine crumb. Pour bread crumbs through a mesh sieve into a storage container. Return large pieces to the food processor and pulse to a fine crumb. If your bread crumbs do not process into a fine crumb, re-bake a few more minutes until dry, then reprocess. Bread crumbs will last longer if kept in the freezer in an airtight container.

Recipe Notes

You can combine a number of recipes for some meal planning and second use dishes. If you make pasta with vegetable marinara sauce one night, save some of the vegetable marinara sauce which you can use in place of tomato sauce. It adds more flavor and texture to the meatloaf. You can also use either the marinara sauce or the roasted ketchup to top off the meatloaf . Click here for the recipe for our roasted tomato ketchup.
