It&# 226;ÂÂs seasoned with chili powder and garlic for a robust, home-style flavor profile that is perfect for weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350ðF (175ðC). Grease two small loaf pans or one large loaf pan with margarine.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the crumbled vegetable burgers (or rehydrated TVP chunks), cornmeal, and sweet corn.
  3. Add the chopped green chiles, tomato sauce, and minced garlic to the bowl.
  4. Crack the eggs into the mixture (or use a flax egg substitute for a vegan version) and stir to combine.
  5. Sprinkle in the chili powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  6. Divide the mixture evenly between the prepared loaf pans. Press down gently to compact the loaf.
  7. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the loaves cool in the pans for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
