The Best Vegan Meatloaf Recipe
Too much meat or too much filler can ruin a meatloaf, but this vegan meatloaf recipe gets the balance just right.
Vegan Meatloaf
The base of this vegan meatloaf recipe consists of a combination of vegan beef crumbles (any brand will work), oats, bread crumbs, and a mix of liquid and spices. It may be tempting to skip the Worcestershire sauce if you don’t already have a vegan version on hand, but don’t do it—the sauce adds a savory richness that cannot be achieved with other ingredients. Finding vegan Worcestershire sauce is easy anyway, and several grocery-store brands are accidentally vegan. Just be sure to read the label and leave anything that says “anchovies” on the shelf.
Enjoy!
