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. :)

Looking for some hearty, filling vegetarian recipes?

I am looking for some good, hearty vegetarian recipies. I am mainly looking for lunch items. I try to stay away from soy, I have reactions to it. I am breastfeeding and I have trouble finding food that fills me up.
Thanks!

I use Morningstar Farms crumbles in 2 of the recipes, but you can easily sub them out for another soy-free brand (like Quorn), use beans instead, or just omit them.

There are so many other recipes on Recipezaar, that is definitely my favorite recipe site. You can use the recipe filter to only include vegetarian meals. If you're a fan of meat substitutes, Quorn is my absolutely favorite and it's soy free. I use the tenders and naked cutlets in place of chicken in all of my favorite classic recipes.
