VeganMoFo - Halloweegan Meatloaf Scramble With Mashed Potato Ghosts

Follow this link for more vegan Halloween recipes!

Remember my Freaky Monday Meat Cakes? This is kind of like that, but instead of baking a meatless meatloaf I made a scramble. Sometimes veggie-loaves can be mushy, and this scramble tasted like a veggie-loaf but without that yucky mushy quality. We served them in dessert cups with mashed potato ghosts on top. Fancy.



Meatless-loaf Scramble

Ingredients

1 cup rehydrated TVP
1 cup ground beef-style veggie crumbles
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1 tbsp tomato paste
1 tbsp ketchup
1 tbsp tamari or soy sauce
1 tsp Mrs Dash salt-free seasoning
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup cornmeal
olive oil for cooking

1- In a medium bowl combine the TVP and beef-style veggie crumbles.
2- Stir in the tomato sauce, tomato paste, ketchup, tamari, and Mrs. Dash.
3- Stir in the breadcrumbs and cornmeal and mix well.
4- Preheat a non stick skillet with a couple of tablespoons of olive oil.
5- Cook the meatloaf mix like you would cook a tofu scramble. Stir every now and then to cook it thoroughly. Mine took 25 minutes and it was enough for 4 individual dessert cups.

If you're going to Halloween these up, spoon some mashed potatoes on top and use the spoon to mold the ghosts, a la "Close Encounters of the Third Kind." Use a toothpick to paint ketchup eyes and mouths onto their little faces.

Have a happy weekend, everyone! :)
