This Beyond Meat Meatloaf is juicy, tender, satisfying, and super comforting – Made entirely of plant-based ingredients with a sweet and tangy tomato glaze. It’s perfect for family dinners and the holidays!
In small bowl, mix the flax and water. Set aside and let it sit for 5 minutes.
In a medium bowl, combine the flax mixture, plant-based milk, and breadcrumbs. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes.
In a small pan over medium high heat, heat the oil and saute the onions and garlic for 3 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and let it fully cool down.
To the bowl with the flax milk mixture, add the Beyond Meat, cooked onions and garlic, ketchup, mustard, smoked paprika, oregano, parsley, and salt. Mix until well combined.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Add the mixture to a prepared 8"x4" loaf pan and bake covered with aluminum foil for 60 minutes.
While the meatloaf is cooking, mix the ketchup, chili powder, mustard, and brown sugar.
Carefully remove the aluminum foil and spread half of the sauce mixture over the meatloaf and bake for an additional 30 minutes.
Add the rest of the sauce and broil for 2-4 minutes.
Let the meatloaf sit for 15 minutes before serving.
Notes
Adjust the amount of liquid: If you make any ingredient subs (i.e., using a liquid sweetener, substituting the breadcrumbs, etc.), the moisture of the loaf can differ. Adjust the amount of plant-based milk/thickener accordingly.
Pack it firmly: When you transfer the meatloaf mixture to the prepared loaf tin, pack it in firmly to ensure it is firm and holds its shape.
Adjust the shape: You can bake it into a vegan meatloaf, individual patties, or meatballs. You could also bake it in a muffin tray for about 30 minutes.
Leave it to rest: Allow the Beyond meat loaf to sit for at least 15 minutes after baking to allow it to cool slightly and firm up as it does. This makes slicing it much easier.
