• 0.5 cups Gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 1 medium Diced onion
• 0.5 cups Diced green bell pepper
• 0.5 cups Diced celery
• 2 cloves Minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons Creole seasoning
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 1 whole Large egg
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste

• 0.5 cups Tomato sauce

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a loaf pan.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, and gluten-free breadcrumbs.

Step 3

Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, celery, and minced garlic to the meat mixture.

Step 4

Sprinkle in the Creole seasoning, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix until evenly distributed.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, tomato paste, and almond milk. Pour this mixture into the large bowl with the meat and spices.

Step 6

Using clean hands, gently mix everything until just combined—do not over-mix to ensure a tender meatloaf.

Step 7

Shape the mixture into a loaf on the prepared baking sheet or press it into the loaf pan.

Step 8

In another small bowl, whisk together the tomato sauce, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar to make the glaze.

Step 9

Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

Step 11

Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
