BLACK BEAN VEGETARIAN MEAT LOAF

Black Bean Vegetarian Meat Loaf image

This was a creation based on trying my first black bean vegetarian burger and deciding I had to learn how to make one, then I decided to go for a vegetarian meatloaf instead! Based on a 4 ounce serving, this recipe could be used to make twelve 4 ounce burgers instead of a meatloaf.

cooking spray
3 (15 ounce) cans black beans, drained and rinsed
1 sleeve buttery round crackers (such as Ritz®), crushed
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 cup diced multi-colored bell peppers
⅔ cup frozen corn kernels
½ cup diced onion, or to taste
24 slices jalapeno pepper, diced
1 egg white
1 (1 ounce) packet hot taco seasoning mix
1 (1 ounce) package spicy Ranch-style seasoning mix

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously coat the inside of an 8x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Mash black beans in a large bowl. Mix crackers, Cheddar cheese, bell peppers, corn, onion, jalapeno pepper, egg white, taco seasoning, and Ranch seasoning into black beans until evenly mixed. Spoon mixture into the prepared baking dish; form into a loaf.
