I decided to create a blw meatloaf recipe that’s totally appropriate for babies just starting out with solids. Do you have clients who have older kids as well? For some reason, these seem to appeal to that age group more than the traditional sliced meatloaf.
So… great for everyone in the family!
Also, this blw meatloaf recipe uses real nourishing ingredients only so no commercial ketchup, breadcrumbs, salt or sugar added. It’s also conveniently super simple.
I simply put all the blw meatloaf ingredients into a large bowl, mixed to combine and transferred the mixture among 12 lined muffin tins. Next, I baked the blw mini meatloaves at 350F for 20 minutes.
While the meatloaves were cooking I prepared the homemade ketchup by putting all the homemade ketchup ingredients into the blender and processed until smooth. I then transferred the ketchup mixture into a saucepan and let it simmer for 20 minutes uncovered until it thickened.
When the BLW mini meatloaves were cooled a bit, I topped them with the homemade ketchup. We enjoyed them with my amazing Cajun Sweet Potato Fries.
