I made a vegetarian meatloaf, but before I became vegetarian, I never really had meatloaf. Much less I don't know what it supposed to taste like. I followed the recipe and the top of the loaf was done but the inside was somewhat mushy. It's good though, but I'm not sure if this is what supposed to happen? Do I need to put it in the oven longer? I'm not sure. Thanks!



Answer
Being that the main ingredient is boiled/mashed lentils, that is probably what is giving your meatloaf a mushy consistency. You might want to look at some non-vegetarian recipes and get an idea for how they are made with meat. Generally, they also have an extender in them (like breadcrumbs) which may help your texture issue. Other items to use as "filling" could be cooked rice, crumbled corn bread or crumbled whole wheat bread. Depending on what kind of bread you use, like a pumpernickel or rye, additional flavor may be imparted to the final product.

Additional cooking may also help the mushiness factor but in this case, I think it's the general nature of the ingredients that's making it mushy. Once baked, try letting it cool, slice it into 3/4" slices and fry it in a frying pan with a little oil (kind of like a hamburger patty) and use it for meatloaf sandwiches. The frying may help form a crunchy (or at least toothsome) layer of crispiness.
