Really Good Vegetarian Meatloaf (really!)

I have made this recipe this morning, doubling the ingredients as I wanted to take one to a friend later. I love it. My son, who is a meat eater said he thought it tasted like Indian cooking. Although I don't think this is anywhere near a meatloaf the dish is wonderful and has a thumbs up from this vegetarian momma.

I love this recipe! I used tomato sauce and it worked well, and followed the recipe as written. (I don't much like barbecue sauce anyway.) I think this is an excellent substitute for meatloaf, I thought the texture was pretty close, and the taste is similar. It is way less greasy, which is a plus for me. I'm trying to eat less meat and I love this recipe because it doesn't try to use fake stuff like beef-flavored tofu or soy cheese. Personal preference, I guess. I think if you like meatloaf and you like vegetables, you will be pleasantly surprised by this recipe.

This was Really Good (really!) I followed the paths of the other reviewers and used bbq sauce in lieu of the tomato sauce, and added celery. I also used fresh garlic instead of powdered and served this with Mille® ™'s Fungus Gravy (#31871, which is really just a mushroom gravy, but that's Miller for you.) I sprinkled a little grated cheese on top too, which was nice. My only problem was that this turned out a bit crumbly. I think that perhaps I cooked the lentils too long? Or I didn't add enough barbeque sauce? In any case, I can tell you right now that I will be making this again and again- a fabulous, meatless, low-fat, high-protein, high-fiber, and economical meal. It may not be meatloaf per se, but I think I just might like it better! Thanks so much for posting/inventing this.

The basic recipe is great. I added celery, red onion and mixed BBQ sauce with the tomato sauce to make it even better. I know sell it in my store.
