Why is my meatloaf mushy?

Most of the time, mushy meatloaf is caused by too much liquid. Instead of making the meat moist, the liquid will boil the meat and change the texture. This recipes uses a small amount of water and cream of tartar to tenderize the meat, which prevents it from becoming mushy.

Instructions

Preheat: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Prepare a 12-slot muffin tin with parchment liners.
Mix: In a medium bowl, mix together the ground beef, almond flour, ketchup, mustard, garlic, Italian seasoning, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper until combined.
Whisk: In a small bowl, whisk the warm water, cream of tartar, and baking soda until it starts to bubble. Pour the water over the meat mixture and mix everything together to combine.
Transfer: Scoop the meatloaf mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each liner to the top. Flatten each meatloaf with the back of a spoon to make sure the meat is spread evenly in each liner.
Bake: Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the meat is cooked through in the center. Let the meatloaves sit for 5 minutes prior to eating. Enjoy with ketchup or your favorite dipping sauce!

Notes

The meat will not expand when baking.
When mixing the cream of tartar liquid into the meat, make sure to massage the meat well. If it helps, use gloves when doing this.
You can swap the almond flour for any other nut flour, oat flour, or a gluten free flour blend.
