This is what I do for Dixie m**t loaf:
Reconstitute Beef NOT as per their instructions with
1 cup hot water and their prepared powdered broth,
one teaspoon. Microwave (covered) the dish after
you mix it for about 2 minutes. Then keep it covered
and let it sit for about 1/2 hour while your working
on the other parts of the recipe:
Ingredients for B**f NOT M**t loaf:
1 cup Beef NOT
1 cup Hot water
1 tsp (heaping) Beef NOT powdered beef gravy mix
Reconstituted...
1/2 cup tomato catsup
2 TBS Lipton onion soup dry mix--(shake it up to get it mixed)
3 slices of stale bread, torn into little pieces
1/4 chopped onion
2 tsp nutritional yeast (non-bitter kind from health food store)
1 or 2 tsp prepared mustard
2 egg whites or other egg replacer
1 TBS FF mayonaise (Safeway Enlighten--my favorite)
1/4 cup bran or oat meal flakes
Mix these ingredients together with the reconstituted
Beef NOT. You may have to experiment by adding a little
more oat meal flakes or egg replacer to get the consistency
right for your taste. It should be a gooey mixture and
smell good before you put it in the oven. This should
be baked in a regular oven, not a microwave, (even though
Dixie sells a pan for microwave m**t loaf). You can
serve this with a covering of real mashed potatoes and
paprika after it is done. Hain makes an excellent
powdered (vegan) gravy that has no fat in it. It is
a perfect portion for this m**t loaf. You might
serve this also with canned baked beans (vegetarian)
on the side.
THIS IS NOT A LOW SODIUM RECIPE. I think it has
over 500 mgs sodium per portion. It tastes
wonderful. Don't try making it without the
nutritional yeast (debittered). I know you
may think it will taste fine without it,
but it NEEDS it--same with the catsup.
