here are 2 for you. hurray for meatloaf :) i love it too!

1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce

1/4 cup packed light brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon dry mustard (*see note below)

1/2 teaspoon chili powder

1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

1 garlic clove, minced

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

3/4 pound lean ground beef

1/4 pound lean ground turkey

1 large egg, lightly beaten

1 cup dried gluten-free bread crumbs

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 tablespoon instant chopped onion

Makes 4 Servings

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

In a small bowl, combine the tomato sauce, sugar, mustard, chile powder, cloves, garlic, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well. Add half of the tomato mixture to a large bowl. Add all the remaining ingredients. Mix well with your hands. Shape the mixture into a loaf, either rounded or rectangular, and place in a baking pan. (If desired, place loaf on a metal rack; I use a round, perforated rack, which allows the fat to drip through to the bottom of the pan and keeps the fat away from the loaf during baking).

Make an indentation in the center of the loaf and pour the remaining tomato mixture into this indentation.

Bake for 45 minutes, or until the loaf is nicely browned.

1 large egg, beaten

1 cup finely crushed rice crackers (by Edward & sons)**

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1-tablespoon onion flakes

*Available at grocery stores and natural food stores

Method:

2. In large bowl, put one half of tomato mixture. Add ground beef, egg, cracker crumbs, salt, pepper, and onion flakes. Mix well with hands.

3. Shape into 9 x 5-inch. Make indentation in center of loaf and pour remaining tomato mixture into this indentation.

4. Bake 45 minutes, or until nicely browned. Serves 4.

instead of bread crumbs, I use Barbara's Instant Mashed Potato flakes... I don't have any specific measurements because I always just use what I have on hand but I generally just use

ground beef

eggs

heinz ketchup

barbara's instant mashed potato flakes

diced onions

salt and pepper

garlic powder

The Gluten Free Pantry's Italian Seasoning mix

and that's about it... mix it up real good and bake until done (usually at least an hour at 350)

Have you used any other brand instant potatoe flakes? We don't have those here. That seems like an easy quick fix for supper. I'm at a loss lately for supper.

I use Betty Crocker Potato Buds instand mashed potatoes. They are a General Mills company and both Betty Crocker and General Mills say that they will list any of the gluten grains on the ingredients. The only thing in Potato Buds are potatoes and preservatives. We don't have them often, so I don't worry too much about the preservatives.

God bless,

I'm a newly dx celiac, so I'm not sure if it's gluten-free, but I don't know why it wouldn't be, but you can use a cup of minute rice instead of oatmeal/bread crumbs. The Joy of Cooking cookbook has an awesome recipe! It's the big white cookbook that you can find at garage sales or book sales...very common. I LOVE meatloaf!! :P

I'm not a fancy cook. Here's my recipe:

Chopped meat

Lg onion chopped

salt

pepper

garlic salt

1/2 cup Regular Prego

Mix-mash-shape

Bake for awhile

Pour more prego on top

bake a little longer till done

It's very good. :D

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Not a receipe really - just an idea. Substitute coarsely ground potato chips (white or sweet) for the bread crumbs, - Gluten free of course. Always checking ingredients. Claire :)

GREAT ideas guys! thanks so much! I never thought of using potato flakes. that's brilliant. :D

LOL! I don't know about "brilliant" but necessity is the mother of invention, right? I got desperate for meatloaf one night and thought to myself... hmmmmmm, self... I think these potato flakes would make a good tasty binder for meatloaf!

I use the Barbara's brand because they don't have ANYTHING else in them besides potatoes. I have a lot of other ingredient sensitivities, so I try to keep my ingredients as simple as possible. I buy them at Whole Foods or my local Co-Op.

I made meatloaf last night and did this- I had two pieces of gluten-free bread left so I toated them in the oven till crisp and put them in a plastic bag with a cup of PUFFINS CEREAL and used the rolling pin on it all. I just made the meat loaf like normal, meat, egg, ketchup, onion, spies you like and then used the crushed mixture for the binder. Husband never knew the difference and youngest daughter (the celiac) LOVED it too!

I will try the mashed potato flakes too! Sounds good!

Hi Jen,

Thank you for the great meatloaf receipe. I made the first one last night and my husband and I said it was the best one I had ever made. I did use fresh onion instead of dried. That receipe is a definate saver. Armetta :)

jenvan Collaborator

Armetta-

I'm glad! I actually made that one too w/a few adjustments. I used onion powder, and for the bread I used lays stacks-plain flavored and corn flake crumbs. My husband has always said he hates meatloaf--but he thought it was really good too! Guess we've found a keeper :D (meaning the recipe--although I'll keep my husband too : )

      When my wife attempted to open the online card in the store with a cashier, it would not work. We then showed the owner the link to the card, the online receipt that I got upon purchase, and even my bank statement confirming the purchase. That did not satisfy her, since she said she needed the link to open to reveal the gift ID num. They even admitted they had a systems problem around that time.

      Was the card itself lost or just the record or both?
    • Francis M
      We were flabergasted that the owner would not acknowledge a $50 e-gift card I purchased for my celiac wife. My wife tried to open it in the store and was informed there had been a system change and they could not find the record. No worries, she was told, just talk to management. Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally informs me there have been "bad actors", so she can't make good on this lost gift card. In other words, she accused me of lying and committing fraud... over $50! Please be careful with your orders and purchases here.

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can damage the stomach lining if you eat it too often. Especially if your stomach lining is already compromised. Ibuprofen inhibits the body's ability to rebuild the stomach's protective mucosal lining. That's why it can cause peptic ulcers. As strange as it may sound, low level irritation/inflammation stimulates the body to rebuild the stomach lining. There are two steps in this rebuilding process known as COX 1 and COX 2. Ibuprofen represses both COX 1 and COX 2. Celecoxcib, a prescription anti inflammatory, inhibits only COX 2, making it less likely to cause damage to the gut lining.

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen  I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.   Something is making my pain so much worse  I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs.  Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever would do. I'm fairly new to this. Whatever is going on seems to be worsening  Do people get a withdrawal effect from gluten?  It's extremely painful 😖  I'll post that question or research on the site  Thank you everyone for responding
