"meat" loaf

[Elsah]

My husband is going to be working really hard this weekend laying a tile floor so I would like to make him something special. I know a 'meat' loaf may not seem special but he loves meat and I don't so he has eaten what I fix for the past ten years (which doesn't include meats) So anyways, what I was wanting to know is does anyone have a good recipe for a really good fake meat loaf? I was thinking the gimme lean might have the most real texture/taste at least he thinks the sausage flavor is great but I have never tried the hamburger version of it. I want something that is going to stick together like the real stuff and I can't imagine the burger crumbles sticking together. I would love it if anyone has a tried and true recipe that could help me out. Thanks in advance!

Thanks nutty.. have you tried the hamburger style gimme lean by chance?
I just hate to waste the money if it's gross.

Elsah, I never tried "big project" like meat loaf, its scary ^.^;;
I make killer TVP patties though, hehehe...

elsah, i've found boca's ground meat to be better tasting imo. gimme lean isn't bad for meat loaf though.

This is my absolute favorite 'meat' loaf. It is really delicious. I was even going to make it this week if I can find some plain hi lo cereal.

Enjoy! :)

16 oz creamed cottage cheese
4 eggs, beaten
1/4 C. vegetable oil
1 package dry onion soup mix
1 C. finely chopped walnuts
1 1/2 C. cornflake type cereal


Heat oven to 350 degrees and grease a loaf pan.

Combine all ingredients and spoon into pan. It will look gross but it will taste GREAT I promise! :p

Bake for 50 minutes (or maybe longer, depends on your oven!) :)

I have never heard one complaint about this one and it is super easy!

I have a special k roast almost identical to that. Are you 7th day? My friend who gave me the recipe was. I will probably end up making something similar to that since I didn't find the hamburger style gimme lean. Thanks E! I had totally forgot about making that recipe. ;)

Nope I am not a 7th day person, I had a good friend in college though that was. I actually got this recipe from http://www.allrecipes.com It is a recipes site where after you try the recipe you rate it and review it so you don't have to waste your time making a recipe that has all bad reviews. This one had excellent reviews so I tried it and was good!

only too bad their search engine makes it difficult to find low carb vegetarian recipse on that site.
