This recipe is a family favorite, born from necessity and perfected over time! When my daughter was little, she had multiple allergies, so I adapted our beloved meatloaf to be completely dairy and egg-free. Even now, with only a milk allergy remaining, we stick to this delicious, adaptable recipe. Use gluten-free oats to make it gluten-free too! Serve with your favorite BBQ sauce for a comforting and allergy-conscious meal the whole family will love.
