Special K/Pecan loaf

Submitted by Kevin Young

"If you've ever been to and Adventist potluck, you've undoubtedly had one version or other of this. It is a delicious alternative to meatloaf. You can make it real low fat with obvious changes i.e. no fat cottage cheese, skim milk etc.. Enjoy!"

I've made this recipe several times. Couldn't imagine how it would turn out, but it tastes great and wonderful with any veggie sides or salad. Also good cold as a sandwich. I'd recommend cooking time be extended by about 20 mins. Also tried it with inexpensive puffed rice cereal and it was good too.

I have indeed been to many an Adventist potluck dinner. This is very close to my own recipe. I usually use walnuts instead of pecans though. I think next time I'll try the pecans. Thanks.

I had to tweak the recipe based on what I had on hand swapping out the nuts and changed up the seasoning. Great staple recipe for non-meat eaters. Thanks for sharing.

A staple at almost every Adventist potluck I've been to. I use an envelope of Lipton's Onion Soup (dry) for the seasoning and no milk, but otherwise the same. Excellent!
