    This was so delicious! I unfortunately didn’t have any onion but it still turned out amazing without it. I did add onion powder but only because I didn’t have the onion. Thank you!

    I was looking for a good Whole30 meatloaf recipe and I luckily found this one! The 5 stars caught my attention. Made it last night for hubby and I and it is delicious. I did add minced carrot, yellow pepper and celery along with the minced onion to total the 2 cups needed (only because I had them sitting on the counter from a previous recipe I was making). Since it’s just the 2 of us I made the recipe and then halved into 2 loafs and froze one. Will be putting this into the weekly rotation.

    1. for this- you want just classic canned tomato sauce (not a marinara). It would be next to the canned tomatoes/tomato paste at the store.
