Cajun Meatloaf W Sweet Bourbon Glaze Vegan Recipes

BEYOND MEAT® CLASSIC VEGAN MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375º F.
• Heat the oil in a medium skillet. Add the onion and sauté until translucent. Add the bell pepper and garlic and continue to sauté until all are golden.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the skillet mixture with all the remaining ingredients (other than the optional glaze topping). Work together thoroughly with a large spoon or clean hands.
• Transfer the mixture to an oiled 9-by-5-by 3-inch loaf pan (metal is preferable, though ceramic works, too. Glass is less desirable) and pat in. If you think your loaf pan will be sticky, line the bottom with a fitting piece of parchment. Or, if you want to be able to easily lift the loaf out of the pan, cut a piece of parchment to fit the bottom, sides, and enough to make "wings" on the side of the pan.
• Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
• If you're using the optional glaze, combine the ingredients in a small bowl and stir together. After the initial 45 minutes of baking time, spread evenly on top of the loaf.
• Whether or not you're using the glaze, bake for 20 minutes longer, uncovered, or until the loaf looks firm and you can see browning around the edges (keep an eye out; you don't want it to burn!.
• Remove from the oven and let the loaf stand, covered, for 10 to 15 minutes. Loosen the loaf around the edges with a knife. Use a sharp knife to cut into 8 to 10 slices. Or if you've made parchment "wings," carefully lift out of the pan and set on an oblong serving plate before cutting.
