Veggie Loaf
After giving up on a thousand Meatloaf metaphors I opted to just call tonight's dinner a veggie loaf. Vegetarian meatloaf, like it's predecessor can make good use of left overs. Tonight we had an open package of saltines, a half sleeve or Ritz crackers and a few pretzel sticks. Needless to say we didn't need to add any salt! We also used about a cup of blanched almonds which really transform the loaf into more than a burger casserole.
Ingredients
- 2 Packages Gardein Crumble (Morningstar also makes a crumble, as does Lightlife. You can also use lentils.)

- 2 Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Ketchup

- 1 cup Almonds
- 3 large carrots

Instructions
- Pour frozen crumble in large mixing bowl.
Use food processor to chop the carrots and onion and crumb the crackers and or bread.
Place just enough water to cover your almonds and blanch in the microwave for five minutes. Pulse in the food processor until well chopped. 
Use your hands to combine all of the ingredients and place into an oiled case iron casserole pan.
