Many years ago, I had a recipe for a really great "meatloaf". I've moved
several times, and it is lost. :-( I'm hoping that someone, somewhere, has
the recipe, or a similar one.

The one I loved had brown rice, grated cheddar cheese, egge, I believe crushed
walnuts, onions, peppers... and other stuff. Sound familiar?

I don't have the "meatloaf" recipe you're looking for, but I do have one
which is very nice indeed. I've posted it a couple of times and
Ingrid has archived it on vegan-food.net:

It's based on TVP and breadcrumbs and the original source is Vesanto
Melina's "Becoming Vegetarian". We call it a "neatloaf".

Now what I would try is putting those ingredients in a loaf tin and
baking it

One thought is to make seitan, add all that stuff into the dough, and
add some extra flour as well.

I noticed the first time I made seitan from flour, I didn't wash off
the starch sufficiently and it came out kinda like a cross between
chewy seitan and bread.

Since then I've learned my lesson and use straight gluten, much less
time consuming and it works.

But I've considered at times adding some flour back in and making
'meatloaf'.

i made this a while back....no too bad

baked-bean-meatloaf recipe

Date: Tue, 25 Mar 1997 22:15:42 -0400
From: (Sharon McCleave)

For an easy to make meal, this is one of my favourites that will always have
a special place in my recipe box! It is a true rib-sticker, and for any man
(or woman!) who likes a good m**tloaf meal, give this a try:

Baked bean meatloaf Serves 4
1 16oz can baked beans
11/4 cups breadcrumbs
1 onion, chopped
2 tsp dry mixed herbs
2 egg whites OR egg sub. equivalent to
1 egg
optional: FF grated cheese, 1cup. I rarely add this. It has flavour and
binds well without it.

Preheat oven 325F.

Mash the beans and breadcrumbs together. Add the remaining
ingredients to form a 'dough'. If needed, thin with a touch of
skim/soy milk. Put in a Pam sprayed/teflon loaf pan and bake 1hr.

I'd suggest serving it with cooked carrots or some 'light' veg. It
makes a lovely, dense, filling loaf; the potato-side-dish-thang would
be just too unbecoming for it! Hope you enjoy it!
