Vegetarian Meatloaf

This vegetarian meatloaf is excellent for those who still have some attachment to the foods they miss. Like I have said before, no meat substitute to date will taste exactly like the real thing. However, this recipe will give you a similar texture, hearty flavor, and protein content as the real thing...without the high fat content.

This recipe calls for TVP (Textured Vegetable Protein), also known as a meat analog or mock meat. See my page on meat substitutes before attempting this vegetarian meatloaf.

2 cups vegetable broth
1/2 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 cups 'meat' crumbles(see note above)

1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon basil
