Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup ketchup (for topping)
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup milk (for mashed potatoes)

Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Mix the Meatloaf: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, gluten-free breadcrumbs, chopped onion, 1/4 cup milk, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined.
- Shape and Bake: Transfer the meat mixture to a loaf pan and shape it into a loaf. Spread ketchup on top for a tangy glaze. Bake for 1 hour or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).
