It was an absolute GIFT to find this in Hi-Ho's Fannie Farmer, which my sister Mush currently owns. THIS recipe was a gift from heaven when I was a child insisting on being a vegetarian, with a woman who really didn't want to cook for a picky eater. Mom would make this loaf once a week so that I had a healthy dose of protein at every family (nightly) dinner.
Ingredients
1/2 pound cheddar cheese, shredded
2 cups drained lentils, cooked or canned
1/2 a small onion
garlic (in Hi-Ho's writing)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon thyme
1 cup soft bread crumbs, packed
1 egg slightly beaten
1 Tablespoon butter, softened
Process
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Mix (it says grind) the chieese, lentils, and onion together. Add the salt pepper and thyme. Add the bread crumbs, egg, and butter. Mix thuroughly.
3. Bake in a greased loaf pan for 45 minutes. Serve with a tomato sauce (or chili sauce mixed with A-1 like my meatloaf) on top.
