This was great!! Instead of the oil I added 6 TB of flax seed. I used 1 1/2 cups of bran flakes and 1/2 cup of oatmeal. And fat free cottage cheese. I used the sauce from recipe http://www.food.com/recipe/meatloaf-yes-virginia-there-is-a-great-meatloaf-54257 to put on the top. I made sure that the pan was well greased.

In short: this meatloaf is AMAZING. Go make it now. Stop reading reviews, don't even bother to get out of your pjs, just leave the house and run to the store now to make this.

This will now be a permanent part of our frequent dinners rotation. To die for delicious vegetarian meatloaf. Tastes just like the meatloaf I remember from childhood, but without that meaty-gross aftertaste. WOW. THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!!!

I was looking for a way to use up cottage cheese and stumbled on to this recipe. I had never heard of this before but all the ingredients were things we like and the photo by Kathy228 was so impressive that I thought I'd give it a try and am glad I did. I hate reviews were people change every ingredient but after I started making this I discovered I had no corn flakes so I had to substitute Stove Top dressing mix and I'm so glad I did. It really added a good flavor. Other than that I wouldn't change a thing. I loved the nuts in the meatloaf. This smelled heavenly while cooking. I didn't tell my family it wasn't meatloaf and no one knew. Amazing! Thanks so much for posting.
