Is there such thing as "vegetarian" meatloaf? Can you help provide a recipe?




Terry 81


By meatloaf, I mean something that sort of resembles a meatloaf made from ground beef (except using soy flour or some other vegetarian ingredient). It can contain eggs and/or milk-- no need to be vegan. Thanks.


Answer
Here's the meatloaf recipe I use...I found it on vegcooking.com. The ironic thing about this is that I HATED meatloaf when I was a meat-eater, but I like this version (go figure!). Enjoy!

~Mama's Mock Meatloaf~
Better than what mom used to make. Serve it with ketchup, mashed potatoes, and gravy.

1 medium onion, diced
1/2 green pepper, diced (optional)
3 Tbsp. vegetable oil
2 packages beefâflavor Gimme Lean Beef
1/4 cup oatmeal, dry
2 slices white bread, crumbled
3 Tbsp. ketchup
2 tsp. garlic salt
1 tsp. pepper

Coating ingredients:
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp. dry mustard
1/2 tsp. nutmeg

⢠Sauté the onion and green pepper in the oil over medium heat until soft. Combine in a bowl with the ground beef alternative, oatmeal, bread, ketchup, garlic salt, and pepper. Thoroughly mix with a spoon or your hands.
⢠Press the mixture into an oiled loaf pan. Cover with foil and bake at 375 degrees F for 30 minutes.
⢠Meanwhile, mix together the ingredients for the coating and set aside.
⢠Remove the loaf from the oven and turn it out onto a baking sheet. Spread the coating over the entire loaf. Cook, uncovered, for another 15 minutes.

Sauces for Meatballs

See Meatballs recipe for using with these sauces. Vegetarians see Vegetarian Meatloaf to accompany these sauces, substituting vegetable broth for chicken or beef broth.

1. Sauce for Spaghetti

Note: The source of this recipe is unknown. It is an evolution of recipes tried over the past 3 decades. If pork neck bones are available, they impart a nice sweet taste to the sauce, but must be kept separate, because the bones are extremely small and can remain undetected in the sauce. (Steamers are effective, if not clumsy, in that they allow the bones to cook in sauce while keeping them separated.)

1/2-1 lb hamburger or meatballs
2-3 Italian sausages, sweet or hot, cut in thirds

1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
3-4 mushrooms, chopped
1-2 carrots, peeled, cut lengthwise in half, then in thirds (opt)

2. Add hamburger and chop up well.
