REALLY GOOD VEGETARIAN MEATLOAF (REALLY!)
High in fiber and protein, low in fat, easy and really yummy! I've always thought meatloaf looks and smells so delicious and savory so, as a vegetarian, I decided to make a no-meat version! This is basically our favorite meatloaf recipe but with cooked mashed lentils instead of ground meat. The result is a very tasty dinner!

DELICIOUS MEATLOAF WITH VEGETABLES
My family likes spice so I add in about 2 teaspoons dried chili flakes when sauteeing the veggies, but that is optional, you can sub chili sauce for the ketchup ---if you prefer to use fresh sliced mushrooms, just saute in the skillet before the onions and other ingredients, any leftovers makes a fantastic sandwich! :)

- Bake the meatloaf in a loaf pan: This will help it hold its shape. You can also use a muffin tin to make individual meatloaves.
- Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: This will help the juices redistribute and make the meatloaf easier to slice.
