Vegan Meatloaf with Veggies 🥕🌱

So I didn’t take all the pictures (still new at this!), but here’s a recipe I used to make with beef, and now I’ve swapped in vegan-friendly ingredients with even more veggies because I love my greens!

Ingredients:

• For the loaf:

• 1 onion, finely chopped

• 1-2 celery stalks, finely chopped

• 1 carrot, finely chopped (or use a food processor to save time)

• 2 pounds of Impossible sausage (you can use “beef” too)

• 1 small can of tomato paste (subbing for ketchup)

• 1 box herb dressing mix (add extra herbs and spices if you like)

• 1 ½ cups warm-hot homemade veggie broth (store-bought is fine with added bouillon)

• For the topping (oops, forgot to snap a pic!):

• 1 part ketchup

• 1 part brown sugar

• Optional: hot sauce to taste

Steps:

1. Sauté the Veggies: In a pan, sauté the onion, celery, and carrot until soft. I like using a food processor to make this step quick!

2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the herb dressing mix, any extra herbs/spices you want, and the warm veggie broth.

3. Combine the Mixture: Add the Impossible sausage (or beef) to the wet mix and blend well. Then, stir in the cooked vegetables and a small can of tomato paste.

4. Form the Loafs: This recipe makes a lot! Line two loaf pans with parchment paper and divide the mixture evenly between the two.

5. Bake: Bake at 350°F for about 45-60 minutes. In the last 10 minutes, add the topping: mix ketchup, brown sugar, and hot sauce (if using).

Notes:

• If you skip cooking the veggies first, add an extra ½ cup of broth.

• Adjust the recipe to fit your spice level—add more or less heat as you like!

Enjoy! 🍽️
