With Thanksgiving approaching at the speed of light, meal preparationΒ is already underway! Some of us like to plan the ultimate classic menu with all the trimmings, others like to go potluck or buffet style, and others enjoy trying new and modern dishes on their page long menu. I think we all try to create some dishes so everyone can have at least something they love. We all know food allergies and diet restrictions have made that very proteinate over the past few years.

It's easy to have plenty of side dishes that fit our diet needs, but the main event can be a bit trickier. I don't eat turkeyΒ and I've been known to just make some chicken for myself instead. Usually, I go for a vegan option on the holidays, though. I just like to change it up for at least one dish each year and usually, that's the main event.

Last year I made this here cauliflower lentil loaf after many years of wanting to try the vegan loaf crave for myself. One of those things that took me so long to try and now I kick myself over not trying it sooner! I always hated that so many recipes were nut-based (so calorie dense and expensive!), soy-based (no tofu, please), or were non-vegan lentil loafs (eggs will not due!)

I knew I had 2 major components that would not let me down when making my first veggie-loaf. Legumes and cauliflower. A great dose of plant-based proteins plus all that veggie goodness (in addition to pepper and onion!) Veggie loaves are such a great option to get those plant-based skeptics to try! The never-fail goodness of lentils and cauliflower I knew would be a surefire way to make a "meaty" success!

When I brought this loaf with me to our family's Thanksgiving feast, I was hoping everyone would try (I usually have to force them to branch out a little into foodie-world). They did and they loved it (just as much as me!) I even had to leave my grandparents some leftovers to savor in the coming days. Which, by the way, this cauliflower lentil loaf tastes great as leftovers! You could eat it cold, hot, mashed up and thrown in a sauce with some pasta. Endless!

Of course, you may have noticed that shiny red glaze on top! "Meatloaf" is NEVER complete without the red ketchup sauce! I made this ketchup glaze with just a hint of smokiness to really take this humble loaf over the top in a subtle way! So let's get those blenders out and oven on! We have a Cauliflower Lentil Loaf to make!

Doesn't it look like a "meatloaf"? I actually never had much meatloaf growing up, but the few times I did, I loved it! I would always get it out at restaurants and you can bet my favorite part was ALL the ketchup sauce on top! I'm glad I can have "meatloaf" again! I'm pretty sure I may be one of the only people who wishes their mom had made meatloaf for family dinners πŸ˜› I digress! We can loaf-on now! Make and take this to your next big family gathering and wow them all with this delectable, hearty, Vegan, Cauliflower Lentil Loaf!

So tell me:

+ Did you have meatloaf growing up? Did you like it?

+ Do you like to change up the main event or side dishes for a food/family holiday dinner?

    How would frozen riced cauliflower do in this recipe. I assume there would be more water to release before baking.

    I am officially you biggest fan! We love meatloaf, with our different diets it's hard for us all to get on the same page. I have learned to make gluten free, vegetarian gravy, but the meatloaf escaped me for a vegetarian option. This is perfect! You always have the best solutions and creative recipes! Thanks!

        So true! I eat vegan, or at least vegetarian, much of the time (though my husband does not thrive on it). But I like to have a vegan dish everyone can enjoy when I have a vegan over for dinner. I don't single them out and make them feel I've gone to a lot of trouble just for them.

    Wow, Rebecca!!! This looks incredible!!! Meatloaf drenched in ketchup was a huge staple growing up πŸ™‚ I love the ingredients you chose here - most contain nuts, rice, or oats, so this is a nice change! It looks so hearty and meaty...I had to do a double take when I first saw the pics! How awesome that your family loved it - when my gut is healed, I'm definitely making this. For now, I'll just drool over these pics! Off to pin the recipe πŸ™‚

    Ok I'm really into this! I use to make meatloaf all the time. The hubby misses it and it was a tradition for dinner the day after an apple orchard and it's been so many years since I've made it. Wasn't a fan of nut loaves but I'm thinking this would be a good one, can't wait to try it!

    I was never a big meat loaf fan - hence becoming a vegetarian at 16. But now that I eat meat again I have been intrigued to try it. Something about so much ground meat puts me off. This on the other hand is something I can get behind! Yum!

    I've never even seen meatloaf in real life, much less eaten it! And I've never had a lentil or nut roast either! This does look completely delicious though, and will definitely be made very soon.

    (By the way, what happened to the nutritional data? That's a very large 1-person serving! LOL!)
