Tex-Mex Veggie Loaf Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 lb. ground veggie patty
• 1/2 c. bread crumbs
• 2 tbsp. tomato paste
• 1/4 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp. dried thyme
• 1 c. chopped onion
• 1 carrot, grated
• 1/2 c. cooked and drained kidney beans
• 1 lg. egg
• 1 tbsp. molasses
• 1 tbsp. Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp. chili powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 garlic clove, minced

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a mixing bowl, beat the egg and blend in the molasses, tomato paste, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce until thoroughly combined. Blend in chili powder, thyme, salt and pepper.

Mix in ground veggie patty, bread crumbs, onion, garlic, and carrot, and blend well. Carefully mix in the kidney beans to avoid mashing them. Place the mixture in an oiled 9x5x3 inch loaf pan and press down lightly. Bake 45 minutes to 1 hour, until firm and browned. Serves 6-8.
