Ingredients
  

MEATLOAF:

  • 1 lb. lean ground beef uncooked
  • 1/2 cup oats (gluten free)
  • 1 tsp. sea salt
  • 1/4 cup red onion chopped

  • 1/2 cup gluten free bread crumbs

  • 2 tbsp. brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp. prepared mustard

Instructions
 

MEATLOAF:

  • Grease a 9x13" glass baking dish.
  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Mix ground beef, oats, gluten free bread crumbs, onion, bell pepper, salt, egg, cheese, Worcestershire sauce and milk with your hands.

Notes

NOTE: Cathy's instructions were to shape the meatloaf loosely. For ease of cutting and serving, I think it is better to press the ingredients firmly together while shaping the loaf. You may have to adjust the cooking time by adding up to fifteen additional minutes to ensure the meat cooks thoroughly in the middle.
NOTE: This recipe works better with cheese cubes rather than shredded cheddar cheese. But I didn't have any block cheese when making this.
