Microwave Vegetarian Meatloaf Recipes

BEST VEGETARIAN MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Prepare the brown rice using Stovetop Brown Rice or Instant Pot Brown Rice. (You'll need 1/2 cup dry rice to yield 1 1/2 cups cooked; or you cook 1 cup dry rice and save the leftovers.)
• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Place 1 1/2 cup walnuts and 1/2 cup cashews on a baking sheet and toast for 8-10 minutes, until lightly browned. Allow to cool.
• Meanwhile, finely chop 1 onion and mince 3 cloves garlic. Clean and finely chop the mushrooms. Finely chop the 2 tablespoons fresh parsley. When the nuts have cooled, finely chop them with a knife or in a food processor.
• In a large skillet, heat about 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add the onion and garlic and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms, 1 teaspoon marjoram, 1 teaspoon thyme, and 1 teaspoon sage. Cook about 5 minutes, until the mushrooms are golden. Transfer to a large bowl.
• In a small bowl, lightly beat together 4 eggs.
• In the large bowl, combine the onion and mushroom mixture with the toasted walnuts and cashews, parsley, 1 1/2 cups cooked rice, 1 cup cottage cheese, 12 ounces Swiss cheese, beaten eggs, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper.
• Butter a 9-inch loaf pan, line the bottom with parchment paper, and butter it again. Pour the mixture from the bowl into the pan.
• Bake 1 hour until golden brown. Let cool in pan for 20 minutes, then invert loaf and remove from pan. Slice into pieces and serve warm. Leftovers can be stored for a few day in the refrigerator or a few months in the freezer (cut into pieces). Reheat in a 375F oven.

MICROWAVE VEGETARIAN MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Saute the mushrooms, pepper, onion and garlic in the canola oil until all are soft. Set aside to cool slightly.
• Combine tomato sauce, honey, brown sugar and mustard. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine the eggs and milk. Add the breadcrumbs, the mixture should look like a thick paste.
• To the paste, add the veggie crumbles, rice, sauteed vegetable mixture, salt, pepper, steak seasoning mix, and half the sauce mixture. Combine well.
• Spread the mixture in a greased, 8 inch square glass baking dish. Pour the remaining sauce mixture on top and spread evenly.
• Microwave the meatloaf on high for 14 minutes, checking after about 10 to compensate for different ovens. The edges should be somewhat brown and firm with most of the sauce on top looking thick and a bit dry. Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes. Enjoy!
