Meatless Meatloaf

So delicious!  Nothing quite like a guilt-free comfort food!  The whole family enjoyed this mild-flavored “meat”loaf that derives its bulk from beans and quinoa.  I used dried beans that were cooked in the pressure cooker, so my end result was probably less salty than canned beans, but very, very good.  I also cut down on the prep by using a food processor.

The recipe is adapted from the Happy Herbivore’s “Hippie Loaf.”
