Thanks! I'm sure it's better with the cheese, but it was still mighty flavourful without. I used some nutritional yeast and almond milk.

Hi Patrick, nutritional yeast would be okay for the flavor that cheese imparts, but I'm not sure if the cashews will do what the milk and cheese does from a texture standpoint. Cashews tend to get thick when heated whereas cheese melts. For the milk you might be better off replacing with your favorite non-dairy milk (soy, rice, coconut etc), as for the cheese, the idea is to introduce fat(in addition to the cheese flavor), so you could probably get away with just using a more fatty ground meat, or adding some chopped bacon inside the meatloaf. You could also use extra soft tofu, which doesn't have much fat, but it gives the meatloaf a more tender texture and a bit of creaminess, which is the reason for wanting more fat in it.

Hi, Marc: I'm going to attempt this recipe but dairy-free. Do you think a cashew/nutritional yeast would be an okay substitute for the cheese and milk?

Hi Eileen, I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed this! Marjoram is a great substitute for Thyme, but I imagine cayenne must have made the meatloaf spicy (not that that's a bad thing)!

This meatloaf was absolutely amazing! And I love that you used parchment paper also! I had to make a couple of changes because I didn't realize (until last minute) that I didn't have the paprika and thyme! I quickly looked online for a substitute and although it seemed a little odd, I used marjoram and a little cayenne pepper. It was the best meatloaf we've ever had! I'll definitely pass this one on and make it again and again! Thank you!
