  1. The meatloaf was delicious.

  2. I recommend cooking the onion & cabbage with the spices first in a little coconut oil. the meatloaf will then bake, not steam, and provide you with a moist, not soggy end product. Cooking the spices first also helps them bloom – for bigger flavor.

  3. Great idea Superfox, will definitely try that next time.

  4. I followed Supefox’s suggestion by cooking onion/cabbage/spices first before adding to meatloaf and almond milk, but it still turned out super soggy- the meatloaf was almost floating in a pool of liquid! This is second time it’s happened. I’m using very lean ground beef, so I think grease/fat contribution is negligible. Maybe too much almond milk?

  5. To counteract the sogginess (sp?) I use ground turkey instead of ground beef – seems to work well – just a suggestion.

  6. I used coconut milk instead of almond milk since this is so much easier to find in the Danish stores and it turned out really well. Great dish

  7. This was really delicious… I actually forgot to put the almond milk in and followed Superfox buy cooking all the veggies and spices first then blended the veggies with the meat and it turned out perfect, not soggy at all! I used Turkey meat as well. Highly recommend cauliflower mash potatoes to finish off the meal!

  8. I made this for dinner last night using ground Bison. I used coconut milk instead of almond milk, and also added a little diced bell pepper. The flavor was excellent and I think the coconut really complimented the bison. I will make this again but next time I will use only half the coconut milk and maybe try adding an egg to help it stick together better. Thanks for the recipe!

  12. Hi Amanda,

    We’re always trying to improve our recipes. Was there something specific about it that you didn’t like?

  13. I just finished dinner and my whole family loved it, even my autistic son who is very fussy! I combined 1 lb. beef and 1 lb. ground turkey. I did not cook the veggies first. I did dump the liquid out a couple times during cooking. It only took an hour for it to be finished.

  14. Where do you find unsweeted bbq sauce, or is this something I need to make?
