Guest guest Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 I have made vegetarian meatloaf using TVP or Nature Burger (the kind for regular veggie burgers, not the tofu ones). They have noth turned out very well, esp. the Nature Burger ones. Now, I have never made meatloaf with soy crumbles like Morningstar Farms or Boca makes, and I don't think it would work since they don't stick together like regular ground beef does. Good luck! , " sweetcatkins " <sweetcatkins> wrote: > > Has anyone had success using the soy crumbles for this?

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 TVP was my first thought too; what it's missing is another protein component to kind of " glue " it. I wonder if a pre-done bit of oatmeal might not help it. I might have to experiment in a day or two. And maybe add in a little Heinz 57 for flavor or something. , " Rachel " <beatlesarecool@h...> wrote: > > I have made vegetarian meatloaf using TVP or Nature Burger (the kind > for regular veggie burgers, not the tofu ones).

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 Try " Gimme Lean " . It has that stickiness that might work to keep everything sticking together! It's what I use for my vegetarian lasagna, and it turns out great every time. It holds the stuff together and keeps it from being runny. Hope that helps! , " radcsusa " <radcsusa@n...> wrote: > > TVP was my first thought too; what it's missing is another protein > component to kind of " glue " it. > > I wonder if a pre-done bit of oatmeal might not help it.

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 Actually, the best thing to use for making vegetarian meatloaf that I have found is " Gimme Lean " by LightLife. I followed a recipe in a cookbook for regular meatloaf and substituted the actual meat for the veggie meat. It tasted delicious:) Here's the link so you can check it out: http://www.lightlife.com/gimmeleanbeef.html Hope this helps:) Noel Message: 2 Mon, 01 Nov 2004 00:16:27 -0000 " sweetcatkins " <sweetcatkins vegetarian " meatloaf " Has anyone had success using the soy crumbles for this? I have an idea to mix soy crumbles with the traditional meatloaf ingredients just to see how it comes out. Haven't tried it yet though. If anyone has tried it, would appreciate your thoughts on this!

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 I agree with the idea of using " Gimme Lean " if you are not opposed to using a pre-packaged kind of food. It is the best of this type of veggie " meat " that I have found so far. It comes in a tube like sausage and has very much the texture of ground beef, and cooks in a similar way except with much less fat. I like to use it for tacos and other things. Really good flavor and texture. Thanks, Dallas -------------- Original message from " Aimee " <aimeeleigh79: -------------- Try " Gimme Lean " .
