Making Meatloaf with no Breadcrumbs
Making a healthier version of meatloaf usually requires ditching breadcrumbs. Honestly, you don’t really need them. Plus, without breadcrumbs you make your meatloaf gluten-free. I’ve found that eggs work just fine as a binder for meatloaf and help hold everything together. You don’t need almond flour or anything like that, just some eggs! Need more?

We used ground beef and pork, but you could really use any ground meat for this recipe. It could be made with 100% beef or also with ground chicken or ground turkey. If you are looking for a ground chicken meatloaf, check out this unbelievably moist chicken meatloaf.
Can you freeze meatloaf?
We love this meatloaf recipe because you can make a big batch and eat on it all week for leftovers. Or, you can make it and save it for later by freezing. Here’s how:
After cooking, slice up the meatloafFreeze them in the individual portions you will want for servingWhen ready, simply defrost the meatloaf and heat it up in the microwave or in a skillet on the stove
The ketchup on top is optional
Spreading ketchup on top of meatloaf is something you either love or hate (I think). I personally used to hate it and now I enjoy a small layer of ketchup on top. It’s just a little sweet and tangy that pairs perfectly with the savory meatloaf. There are several low-sugar and Whole30 compliant ketchups you can find in stores now too!
