Gluten Free Meatloaf in a Mug

I’ve been receiving more and more request for meals in a mug recipes, as well as individual portion-sized recipes. This gluten free meatloaf in a mug can be made in about five minutes, two of which is for cooking. Surprisingly, the flavor is one of the best-tasting meatloaves I’ve had. It is a spinoff of my Sweet & Savory Gluten Free Meatloaf Recipe for the oven, without the sweetness. It’s heavy on the meat, making it a protein-packed meal. It looks like one big meat ball!

  5. Microwave on high for 2 1/2 minutes. During the cooking, empty all liquid from the mug about three times, or as needed, to prevent splattering.

If you only enjoy meatloaf with ketchup, feel free to substitute the Worcestershire sauce for ketchup. This is recommended for kids as Worcestershire sauce is spicy),
