Vegetarian & Organic Meatloaf Muffins

Such a savory and satisfying meal! I could not find the organic onion soup/dip mix, so I looked online and found that the ingredients of it were onion powder, garlic, salt and pepper, so I simply substituted 1 tsp. onion powder, 3/4 tsp. garlic salt and some fresh ground pepper. Also - I was happy to find the cereal at Trader Joes. I made mine in muffin tins and cooked for 20-25 minutes. Right before removing from oven I brushed with some organic ketchup. These are perfect for a packed lunch and heat up in 20 seconds in the microwave.

FANTASTIC. I've been craving meatloaf but of course don't want to satisfy it by the way
of actual ground beef. I thought I'll give this a try and its delicious. So surprised at the
results. I used 3 cups of the suggested cereal mix, rolled it in a ziplock bag to crush
before adding. Also added 1 Tablespoon Worceshire sauce, and a generous tsp. of
thyme. My childhood fav meatloaf had a topping on it that I also added this. Mix
1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 catsup, 1 T. mustard, mix and spread on top. Yum.. Next
time I'll try a different topping of sauted mushrooms in an organic dry mix gravy and pour on top
of finish loaf with a side of mashed potatoes. YUM. Definately use the Simply Organics
French Onion Dip mix..there isn't any MSG in it and not loaded with salt,which a previous
review mentioned the McCormick was too salty. Thanks for sharing such a great recipe. alehar

This recipe was fantastic! I wasn't able to find a few of the organic ingredients specified, but otherwise followed the recipe pretty exactly (I used McCormick French Onion Dip mix and a generic brand of multigrain cereal flakes instead). I added about 1/4 cup of chopped red pepper to the recipe, because I put red pepper in just about everything, and it turned out great. I won't lie, the mixture looks pretty gross when you initially combine everything together, but once it has been baked it looks exactly like meatloaf. And has the texture of meatloaf... and the taste of meatloaf... and the smell of meatloaf... I can't say enough good things about it!

Good. I modified the recipe slightly to reduce fat and increase protein. I used 2 whole eggs and 2 egg whites, Special K Protein Plus (broke up flakes into smaller pieces), omitted olive oil. Topped each muffin with a spoonful of tomato sauce. Great served with mushrooms. The only problem was that I found using the soup mix made it much too salty. I plan to try again using chopped onion and my own seasoning.

I had to cook the muffins a little big longer than what the recipe called for to get them firm, and nice and brown. They tasted GREAT. I can't wait to try them again. I want to try a few variations (sunflower seeds instead of walnuts, maybe add some mushrooms), but that''s just me. The recipe really is perfect.

OMG, this is really, really good. I normally don't like veg meatloaf because meat replacements taste kind of like dog food to me, but this is delicious! It looks terrible while you are mixing it up but comes out sooooo good.
