I've never been a huge fan of meatloaf. Until now. I have had to start learning how to cook more than pouring a bowl of cereal or eating Cheez-Its out of the box for dinner now that there is a man living in my house ๐ Meatloaf typically contains milk so I was on the hunt for a dairy-free version due to Cody's dairy intolerance. I came across numerous recipes on the internet that claimed to be "THE BEST" meatloaf ever but none of them sounded great. I took ingredients from each recipe to make my Frankenstein-esque meatloaf and IT. IS. SO. GOOD. I sat on the counter and ate at big chunk of it while it was still warm.
I know this recipe sounds funky but I'm almost certain that you will love it! If you don't.... I can't help you anymore ๐คท
Who said recipe testing wasn't glamorous ?!?! |
