Ingredients
- 16 ounces Beyond Meat
- 1/2 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1/2 cup onion, diced
- 1 egg or flax egg
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- 1 tablespoon liquid smoke
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano
- For the Glaze:
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, combine Beyond Meat, diced onions, egg or flax egg, breadcrumbs, ketchup, mustard, liquid smoke, garlic powder, salt, smoked paprika, and oregano.
- Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated. Use your hands if needed.
- Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it on parchment paper in a baking dish.
- Bake for 35 minutes.
- While baking, mix the glaze ingredients: ketchup, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard.
- Remove meatloaf from oven and brush the glaze over the top.
- Return to oven and bake for an additional 25–30 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Use a serrated knife for best results.
Notes
- Use a flax egg for a fully vegan version (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 tbsp water, chilled for 15 minutes).
- Optional add-ins: finely diced carrots, bell peppers, or mushrooms for extra texture and flavor.
- To make it Paleo, use cassava or almond flour instead of breadcrumbs.
- Letting the meatloaf rest is essential for clean slicing and texture.
- Cover with foil if top begins to brown too quickly.
- Do not increase oven temperature—slow baking keeps it moist.
- Cooking time may vary slightly based on loaf shape.
