"This meatloaf is as good or better than the "animal protein" version, but with cholesterol levels as they are this vegetarian version is good tasting and good for you. I really enjoyed this as a meatloaf sandwich. This is a variation of a vegan recipe I found in a vegetarian magazine."

I don't like to mess with anyone's recipe, especially when I am making it for the first time. However, I thought I had feta in the fridge, but I didn't. Instead, I small cubed 8 ounces of mozzarella. I did everything else exactly as stated and it came out really good! In fact, my wife and I think it's the best vegetarian meatloaf we ever had! The consistency came out very close to actual "carnivore" meat loaf. The blend of the flavors of the ketchup, mustard and soy sauce was perfect, giving it a bit of a barbecue taste. This recipe is a keeper! Thanks for posting.

I liked this, hubby being a meat eater wasn`t too sure, although he did say he would eat it again when served. This is the first time I have tried this type of recipe, and will make it again, I might even add some curry spices for a variation. Hubby felt there should be a sauce with it, any suggestions out there?

I made this for dinner tonight with mashed potatoes and corn. The taste was really good. However, my meatloaf was much dryer than the others indicate theirs was. The only thing I can think of is that I drained the tofu (which it didn't say to do) just out of habit. Next time, I will make it with undrained tofu. The taste, the texture, everything was right on and it was very good.

Delicious meatloaf! I doubled the recipe and put it in a pie pan. Due to what I had on hand, used only 8 oz of feta, .75 cups of old-fashioned oats and 1.25 cups of steel-cut oats. The flavor was great! We have been enjoying leftovers for breakfast with a fried egg on top. This would also be great made as meatballs for hoagie sandwiches. Tasty. This is one we will make again. Thanks!

85% daily intake for salt. Is this correct or a mistake? It can't be healthy with that much salt.

Wow, this was incredible! I'm not a vegetarian, but this could be my standard meatloaf from now on: moist, cheesy, and really good flavor. I did have to substitute the cheese with mozzarella and pepper jack, but it was still fantastic. The color was lovely as well, which is sometimes difficult with tofu-based foods. The leftovers (few that they are) are going into my spaghetti sauce tonight. Thanks!

I now live in Texas but I recently moved from the Pacific Northwest but I have lived all over. Spent time in Europe and mostly west of the Mississippi and the South. I am a Jr. Executive with a large company and I have seen my waist and health go in directions that make me unhappy as well as unhealthy. I am the main cook and bottle washer in the house and have focused on healthy eating. I have converted to vegetarian eating in 2009 with a heavy emphasis on vegan recipes. I FEEL GREAT!
