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.”
