Lent is the perfect time to try a new meatless recipe and share with your family and friends.
Imitation Roast
1-16 oz cottage cheese
4 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 envelope dry onion soup
1 cup finely chopped walnuts
2 to 2 1/2 cups Special K original cereal
1/4 cup chopped onion
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease loaf pan. In large bowl, combine cottage cheese, eggs, vegetable oil, soup mix, walnuts, cereal and onion. Spoon into pan. Bake for 60-70 minutes. Let rest for 5-10 minutes. Turn out onto serving platter.
You may add any seasonings of your choice. Try it this way first. This comes out looking like real meat, but more solid than hamburger. It slices very nicely for sandwiches.
