This meatloaf recipe is a family favorite! Made with oats, yogurt, and unsweetened ketchup, it is moist and incredibly delicious. This is the perfect thing to throw together all in one bowl when you have plenty of ground beef, but you don’t know what to cook. It is easy enough for a weeknight dinner and impressive enough when you have friends or family over on the weekends.
I know there are a million other meatloaf recipes out there, but I wanted to share this one because it is the best meatloaf I have had! When I used to make the traditional meatloaf full of onions, my kids would be so unhappy trying to pick them all out and complaining all the while. So, I came up with this recipe made without onions, and everyone was happy at the dinner table.
If you enjoy this recipe, be sure to checkout my gluten-free meatball recipe which is very similar, but without the ketchup. It is another recipe that is on rotation at my house!
How to Substitute Ingredients
Ground Beef – I usually use 85% lean ground beef and that is what the recipe was tested with. You can play around with different fat percentages, but it will likely be more dry if you go much leaner.
Yogurt – this meatloaf turns out great with buttermilk or cashew milk (for a dairy free version). Regular whole milk will work too.
Oats – substitute with your favorite bread crumbs.
Unsweetened Ketchup – I really love using unsweetened ketchup to control the amount of sugar my family is getting. But, regular sweetened ketchup works too!
Garlic – leave out if you don’t like garlic or if you are sensitive to it.
