Answer
Someone posted this recipe recently and I made it last week. It was DELICIOUS! My husband also loved it and he is not vegetarian. I have sent the recipe out to everyone in my family because we loved it so much. It was easy to make. Just be sure to give it plenty of time to cook in the oven. We cooked it a little longer than the recipe called for.
Really Good Vegetarian Meatloaf (really!)
High in fiber and protein, low in fat, easy and really yummy! I've always think meatloaf looks and smells so delicious and savory so, as a vegetarian, I decided to make a no-meat version! This is basically our favorite meatloaf recipe but with cooked mashed lentils instead of ground meat. The result is a very tasty dinner!
SERVES 4 -6 (change servings and units)
Ingredients
2 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup lentils
1 small onion, diced
1 cup quick-cooking oat
3/4 cup grated cheese (cheddar, swiss, jack or american)
1 egg, beaten
4 1/2 ounces spaghetti sauce or tomato sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
1Add salt to water and boil in a saucepan.
2Add lentils and simmer covered 25-30 minutes, until lentils are soft and most of water is evaporated.
3Remove from fire.
4Drain and partially mash lentils.
5Scrape into mixing bowl and allow to cool slightly.
6Stir in onion, oats and cheese until mixed.
7Add egg, tomato sauce, garlic, basil, parsley, seasoning salt and pepper.
8Mix well.
9Spoon into loaf pan that has been generously sprayed with Pam (non-stick cooking spray) or well-greased.
10Smooth top with back of spoon.
11Bake at 350 degrees for 30- 45 minutes until top of loaf is dry, firm and golden brown.
12Cool in pan on rack for about 10 minutes.
13Run a sharp knife around edges of pan then turn out loaf onto serving platter.

Vegetarian "Meat Loaf"?
JennyP
One of my staff is a vegetarian but remembers loving meatloaf! Since her last day at work is coming up on the 28th, I wanted to try to make something that would satisfy her craving while sticking with the vegetarian diet she prefers. Help!
Answer
Go to the Morningstar Farms website (www.morningstarfarms.com). They have a recipe for "meatless loaf" using their meatless crumbles. It's really good if you follow the recipe exactly. I've tried adding things and it doesn't come out as firm - but then again, I always had a hard time with "real" meatloaf too. LOL Don't forget to add ketchup on top during the last few minutes of baking... makes it taste much more like meatloaf than if you leave it plain. :)
