Vegetarian Meatloaf

Welcome to another "Minus the Meat Monday!"  He he, does that sound official? I hope it's not cheating that my recipe for this week is a vegetarian "meatloaf," since I'm trying a homemade meat substitute, but to quote my husband's favorite saying, (which drives me crazy, by the way),
"it is what it is."

Last January, I posted a recipe for meatless meatballs that was good.

Vegetarian Meatballs

The veggie "meatloaf" recipe I tried this week is similar to that recipe,
but uses whole grain cereal flakes
instead of the breadcrumbs, which gives it more fiber and vitamins.
I used a  recipe from Food.com that received 5 stars from 9 reviews.
It contains cottage cheese, eggs, olive oil,
onion soup mix, walnuts, cereal flakes and onions.

A couple of tips that I have after making this recipe:

When it say's "finely" chopped walnuts, make sure they are finely chopped, or you will have crunchy chunks, which are not meat-like. Use a food processor, but stop processing before they become nut butter.

I also baked mine about 5 minutes more than the suggested time of 20 minutes so they would be firmer, but that may depend on your oven.

The recipe said to let them "rest for 5 minutes" after baking,
but I found if you let them set
longer, and cool a bit, that they set up more
and become even more meat like.

I also used low fat cottage cheese, and it worked just fine,
and I substituted Total Whole Grain Flakes for the cereal.

While I don't think most people would be fooled into thinking
these were made from real meat, they were good.

      It's not vegan because it does have eggs and cheese in it, but truly their is no meat! 🙂
