Vegetarian / Vegan Meatloaf image

This is adapted from Vegetarian Times and is just about the best meatloaf ever - vegan, vegetarian or 'carnivorian' ... it's the 'meatloaf' sandwich recipe - http://www.vegetariantimes.com/recipes/10244 - I've added nutritional yeast to boost the flavor and add B vitamins. My Domestic Accomplice's daughter made this for Christmas ... it was better than the turkey! You may also add mushrooms and/or red or green bell pepper, chopped and sauteed. I also use lemon pepper rather than regular pepper. And if you're on a stricter low-carb diet, you can substitute half of the rolled oats with flax seed meal.

The flavor of this meatloaf was great, but it was a little too crumbly for my liking.

This meatloaf was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I might try adding some more liquid next time.

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this meatloaf. I'm not a vegetarian, but I'm always looking for ways to incorporate more plant-based meals into my diet. This recipe was a great way to do that.

This vegetarian meatloaf was a hit with my family! It was flavorful, moist, and had a great texture. I especially liked the addition of the lentils, which gave it a boost of protein.
