Recipe: Better Than Meatloaf

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone!

 

Here is another recipe out there...really easy and cheap to make and

I made this last night As most veggie loafs, it's a tad dry but

you will want to add some tomato sauce or some type of gravy to eat

with this. This can be nicely served with garlic mashed potatoes.

Good luck!

Better Than Meatloaf

 

A very good vegetarian loaf that freezes well. The leftovers make

great sandwiches. This recipe comes from Vegetarian Times.

 

2 cups dry lentils

1 bay leaf

8 cups water

1 cup uncooked bulgar

1 cup soft bread crumbs

1 egg, beaten

1 tablespoon ketchup

1 onion, chopped

1 clove garlic, crushed

1 tsp. thyme

2 tsp. oregano

1 tsp. tarragon

salt and pepper to taste

3 tablespoons topping (tomato sauce, barbecue sauce, etc)

 

 

Combine lentils, bay leaf, and 6 cups water in a medium saucepan.

Bring to boil, then simmer until lentils are soft and the water

absorbed, about 45 minutes. Meanwhile, combine bulgar with 2 cups of

water in a medium saucepan. Bring to boil, cover, lower heat and

simmer 15 minutes.

 

Preheat oven to 350F. Mix all ingredients (except topping) in a large

bowl and blend well. Pat into large loaf pan. Bake until firm, but

not dry – about 40 minutes. During the last 5 minutes of baking,

brush top with topping mixture of your choice. Let loaf stand 15

minutes before slicing.

Thanks Lisa...I LOVE loaves, and they do freeze well. For a change,

instead of ketchup use salsa, and put a little on the top when it comes

out of the oven.
