Ingredients

For the loaf:
1/4 c vegetable oil, divided
1/3 c chopped onion
1 1/2 tbsp chopped garlic, about 2 - 3 cloves
4 eggs
2/3 envelope dry onion soup mix
1/3 lb lowfat ricotta
1/3 lb firm tofu, drained, pressed and crumbled to resemble ground beef
1/2 c cooked brown rice
1/2 tsp each of dried basil and oregano
1/4 tsp dried rosemary
4 c Special K or similar flake cereal, crumbled with your hands to break up large flakes
For the sauce:
1/2 c ketchup
2 tbsp dijon mustard
1/4 c molasses or brown sugar
2 - 3 tbsp apple cider vinegar, to taste
pinch of cayenne, to taste

Steps:

Preheat oven to 300. Saute the onions and garlic in approx. 1 tbsp of vegetable oil. Beat the eggs in a medium bowl, then add all remaining ingredients except the cereal. When combined, add the cereal, using your hands or a wooden spoon to break up any large chunks and form a cohesive mix. Put into a loaf pan sprayed with cooking spray and bake 1 hour. Meanwhile, make the sauce by combining all ingredients in a small saucepan and heating over medium low. Stir until smooth and combined. Remove the loaf after one hour, pour sauce over the top and return to the oven to bake for 10 minutes more. Remove from oven and allow to stand for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
