The Sweetener Free Ketchup was really really good in meatloaf though! The spices worked really well with the meat and did not overpower the other flavors. We still have a lot of the ketchup left, so I think we'll be making meatloaf again in the near future.
On the plus side, Tommy seems to be fine after having this meatloaf twice over the course of several days. That's a relief. I'm glad he's ok with grass fed beef. It gives me hope that in the future he'll be ok with traditional beef too. I started with my Bison Meatloaf and modified the recipe a little. This meatloaf was even better than the bison one.
I served the meatloaf with baked green bean fries and mashed potatoes. I saw the original recipe for Spicy Green Bean Fries on Pinterest and then modified it so make it Tommy safe. I thought the breading I made was kind of bland, but Tommy loved them. He doesn't eat a lot of green vegetables, so I'm counting this recipe as a success.
And yes, Ben and I did join Tommy at the kids table that night. Good thing Ben built sturdy chairs!
