Ingredients

1 ½ cups walnuts
½ cup pecans
2 tablespoons butter

VEGETARIAN CHEESE LOAF

Vegetarian Cheese Loaf image

I got this recipe from a lady at my Mom's church. She makes it for all of her vegetarian friends (my mom is a vegetarian). We liked it very much even though we do eat meat. It is easy to make and not too involved like some of those vegetarian recipes can be.

This is a hearty main dish loaf that is an easy and tasty vegetarian substitute for turkey at Thanksgiving or Christmas, or on a cold winter night. My non-vegetarian family loves it at Thanksgiving served with mushroom gravy and a sugar pie pumpkin stuffed with dressing and baked.
