I made this tasty “meatloaf” for dinner tonight. It is from the Vegandad.blogspot.com site. DH said, “this is pretty good for being vegan.” Next time, I will make more sauce, maybe even double it. I found that I did not have any “excess” sauce to spoon over my loaves. Also, I had a little less than 1/2 cup of brown sugar on hand, which was fine for our tastes, as I don’t like things too sweet. I may even cut back to 1/4 cup next time. The recipe did not say to use prepared mustard so I used dried. The cayenne is to taste, but that part keeps disappearing. I grated the onion in my mini food processor as I was tired of using the box grater after the tempeh. I served with mashed potatoes and roasted broccoli.
