Vegetarian Meatloaf with Vegetables

Reviewed: Jun. 4, 2007

My boyfriend thought he'd gone back to a school cafeteria when he was served the sauteed veg, mashed potatoes with onion gravy and the 'meat' loaf. He doesn't like beef and I don't eat any meat and we both loved this! Our dinner guest who eats meat thought it was real meatloaf, plates were nearly licked clean. I used half Gimme Lean sausage and half beef and a whole bag of Quorn burger crumbles and cooked it in a loaf pan sans vegetables. (froze the two halves of Gimme Lean for the next round) I used 1 1/2 cups Japanese style panko bread crumbs instead of homemade as I'm used to putting crushed crackers in my meatloaf from the old days and the texture was perfect. I only used a couple of ounces garlic and Italian spiced tomato sauce on the top and it was more than enough since it was in a loaf pan.

Chicken Chili

Reviewed: Dec. 18, 2004

Nice tasting recipe. I used TVP instead of chicken and it was really good. Red pepper tasted better than green, used a little less onion on second recipe, little better that way. Didn't like crunch of celery, so added carrots second try, little smoother. Spices were a good combo, could not taste cocoa powder, maybe just deepens color a bit. Nice recipe to adjust spice on, just add more crushed red pepper or cayenne if you want it hotter.
