Pro tips and recipe notes
- Using this type of broiler pan with a grid top is what I recommend. Line the bottom drip pan of the broiler pan with foil.
- Form the meat mixture into a loaf shape and place it on the slotted upper part of the broiler pan. Allowing the fat to drain into the bottom drip pan keeps your meatloaf from getting mushy.
- Leftovers will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for 4 days
- You can freeze your meatloaf in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Let the meat cool down before placing it in the container.
And that’s it. Perfect meatloaf every time. So it doesn’t crumble, be sure to let the meatloaf sit for 5 minutes before slicing.
You’re going to love this filling and flavorful no-fail gluten-free meatloaf. With homemade mashed potatoes, it’s delicious. And best of all, it’s gluten-free.

You’re welcome. I’m so glad you’re here. Sometimes folks will add their favorite chopped veggies to their meatloaf (my clan just doesn’t prefer it that way) but you could give it a whirl.
