The term “delicious eggless meatloaf” may seem a bit odd, and it certainly may not seem all that exciting. But last year I found out that eggs can be rough on my digestive system. It took some time, but I was finally able to figure out a way to make a decent meatloaf sans eggs.
I’ve asked a dozen different people how they like their meatloaf, and I received a dozen different answers. Many people are attached to having a skin of ketchup on their loaf of meat, which is awesome – for them. Many like the oatmeal and egg glue to hold their meatloaf together, and again, that’s awesome – for them. If you want to mix it up a little bit, have a different meatloaf experience without eggs, ketchup or oatmeal, with a bit of a kick, this might be the meatloaf for you.

One of the most challenging parts of capturing the essence of this recipe was to actually write this recipe down. I’ve spent so many years, tossing in a handful of this and a scoop full of that, without taking the time to precisely measure out individual ingredients I had to make this recipe several times over this past month get it just right.
- Ground beef
- Italian seasoned panko or bread crumbs
- Crispy fried onions
- Celery

- Yellow onion

One thing that’s great about this recipe is that you can be totally flexible about the ingredients, the measurements and substitutions. You may like more or less of something than my family likes and this recipe will still hold up well. If you want avoid gluten as well as eggs, you can replace the Panko / bread crumbs with gluten free oats processed in the food processor to give this meatloaf the same consistency and texture.
