Featured Maple Leaf Product: Lightlife Grounds (#00209)
Vegetarian BBQ Meatloaf
Recipe Information
Method
- The day before, thaw vegan Lightlife grounds in an insert pan in the refrigerator at 4'C/40'F or lower.
- Preheat the convection oven to 350'F/177'F.
- Heat oil in skillet, add the onions and sauté until translucent. Add the chopped green pepper and minced garlic; continue to sauté until all are golden.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed vegetables with the remaining ingredients other than the Glaze Topping. Work together with a large spoon or clean gloved hands. Transfer the mixture to a sprayed 9" x 5" x 3" loaf pan(s) and pat in; alternatively can place in 2" deep insert pan. Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
- Glaze Topping: Mix the additional barbeque sauce, soya sauce, and maple syrup in bowl. Remove the meatloaf from the oven, remove foil and brush glaze evenly over the top.
- Bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes longer or until the internal temperature reaches 165'F/74'C for 15 seconds. The loaf should look firm and there is browning around the edges. Let stand 15 minutes before slicing.
