Last night, I made meatloaf using the recipe below. I did not want to go to the trouble of making GF cornbread breadcrumbs; so, I used Gluten free crackers that I put through the food processor. I think I need to use more cracker crumbs next time because it was almost too moist....but the flavor was delicious. I used honey instead of molases...I think next time I will leave it out all together. The glaze is plenty sweet.
Served it with mashed potatoes....since it has lots of veggies hidden inside : ) Yummm!!
