Whenever I think of meatloaf I hear, “Meatloaf, meatloaf, double-beetloaf. I hate meatloaf” playing over and over in my head. Quoted directly from one of my favorite movies of all time! The only thing is that I absolutely do NOT hate meatloaf, I love the stuff.
But, ever since going grain-free, we haven’t been eating it because I don’t use the breadcrumbs. Well, I just had to come up with my own version of this classic staple meal. Oh boy, did I ever. I like my version much better because it’s sweet and savory, all while packing a nutritional punch too!
