I was so excited to try this recipe! I did choose to make it gluten-free, opting for cooked quinoa in exchange for wheat germ. It held together extremely well, I may even try it in muffin tins as I do with regular meatloaf the second time around. And the texture was spot on! Next time I might also try to roast the red peppers and toast the walnuts to enhance their flavors as well as skip the sage and lessen the amount of onion soup mix used...all just personal preferences. Thanks Penny P. for posting this recipe!

I found this recipe DELICIOUS, but I must point out that Worcestershire sauce is not vegetarian-friendly because it is made with anchovies.

Turned out better than expected.. didn't have oat bran or wheat germ, used 1 cup of cooked bulgar wheat instead, cooked the brown rice with 2 cloves of garlic, shredded a very large carrot and added finely diced celery. added sprinkling of sage to each stage.. my dad thought there was lamb in it.. also used regular button mushrooms.. that's what i had on hand

I don't like mushrooms but I made this for my vegetarian husband (and our other guests) for Thanksgiving. Everyone loved it and some even went back for seconds. I'll take their word for it that this recipe is five stars.

It had an interesting nutty flavor but had a crunch texture and was too bland for my taste. I will probably not make this again.

This was very good, though extremely dense. Also, as I did not have my food processor there was a lot of chopping, so plan accordingly. I added a small carrot grated, and think I will add 2 small carrots next time. Used vegetarian worcestershire and rolled oats. I am also going to crumble some of it and try it as a taco filling. Seems like a very flexible recipe. Also will see how it freezes.

This was great, but I'm glad a previous reviewer mentioned that worcestershire has anchovies. I checked the bottle in my fridge, and sure enough, not vegetarian. I seasoned the mix with soy sauce instead. I also didn't have any wheat germ or oat bran handy, so I substituted rolled oats for both. Turned out great and was less expensive that way.

This is really good,I did change a few things. I left out the package of onion soup as all the ones at the store were either NOT Vegetarian or they had MSG in them. Also I used Vegetarian Worcestershire sauce. I added onion powder,garlic powder,black pepper and 1/4 cup of whole wheat flour. It's a keeper! Thank you :)
