I'm beginning to like some of the Dr. Oz show and this recipe came from one of his shows. I've used my ground up gluten, but this "vegetarian burger" is quicker. (Morning Star carries gluten strips that could be used and ground down in a food chopper, however, they've had all the brand removed that's preferred for good texture and taste.)(2 Tbs Worcestershire sauce, 2 Tbs liquid smoke (or to taste) Variations: 1/3 c finely chopped bell pepper (any color) 2 c veggie broth Salt and pepper to taste are ingredients that could be substitute for the items you don't care for.)Loaf Ingredients;VEGETARIAN MEAT LOAF
Ingredients
1 (12 oz.) bottle barbecue sauce (high quality, AND tasty) (or, Worcestershire/liquid smoke)
1 (12 oz.) package vegetarian burger crumbles (or, grind up 12 oz of one of my "steitan" recipe found in this blog)
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1/3 cup minced onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup whole wheat bread crumbs or, wheat berry (see below)
3 tbsp Parmesan cheese (sub. from variation's for other flavors if cheese is a problem, Vegan's)
1 egg, beaten (See sub. eggs post for vegan's)
1/4 tsp dried thyme (sage can be sub.)
1/4 tsp dried basil
1/4 tsp parsley flakes
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Preheat oven to 325° F. Lightly grease a 5x9 inch loaf pan. In a bowl, mix 1/2 the barbecue sauce with the vegetarian burger crumbles, green bell pepper, onion, garlic, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese and egg. Season with herbs; thyme, basil, parsley, salt and pepper. Transfer to the loaf pan.
Bake for 45 minutes in the preheated oven. Pour remaining barbecue sauce over the loaf, and continue baking 15 minutes, or until loaf is set by cooling it down a bit to keep it together and firm.
Just keep it simple, flavorful and easy.
Add a mushroom gravy etc. for a semi home made meal
