Ingredients
-
3 lbs lean ground beef
-
1 cup galaxy foods soy Veggie Shreds cheese (cheddar flavor)
-
1/2 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
-
2 eggs
-
3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
-
1/2-3/4 teaspoon ground sage
-
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
-
1 dash oregano
-
2 -3 chopped fresh garlic cloves
-
1/2 medium chopped red onion

1/2 tablespoon adobo seasoning (up to a whole tbs to taste)
-
1/2 cup ketchup (and some extra squirts for topping)
-
sea salt (I put a dash)
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
1 tablespoon fresh ground pepper (or to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Thaw meat in advance and place in a large mixing bowl.
- stir in bread crumbs, sage, coriander, Adobo, oregano, pepper and salt.
- Use hands to mix in eggs, ketchup, soy sauce, soy cheese and red onion (mixing in one ingredient at a time and being sure not to over mix-meat should not feel sticky.) Divide mixture in half and form into 2 loaves.
- Place loaves side by side (not touching) in a medium sized lasagna pan.
- Use fingers to open the top of the loaves and sprinkle in the garlic and add 1/2 a tbs of olive oil to each loaf and squeeze closed.
- Close loaves with hands and top with ketchup if desired (I highly recommend that part). Cook at 350 for 1 hour.
- Let stand 5-10 minutes and serve warm!
- Enjoy!
