Dear Cancer Project supporter,

For a healthy heart on Valentine's Day, serve this great-tasting loaf that’s sure to please. A food processor makes it easy to make the bread crumbs (or you can purchase already-prepared bread crumbs) and to finely chop the walnuts and vegetables. The tomatoes in this recipe add vitamins C, A, and B.


Directions

Makes 1 loaf (about 12 slices)

1 1/4 cups quick-cooking or regular rolled oats
1 1/2 cups bread crumbs, preferably whole-wheat (2 to 3 slices bread)
1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 celery stalks, finely chopped
1 carrot, finely chopped
1/2 green bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped
1 14-ounce package Lightlife Gimme Lean Ground Beef Style meat substitute, other ground beef-style meat substitute, or 2 cups cooked bulgur
3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 cup plain tomato sauce, or 1 cup of crushed tomatoes
2 teaspoons stone-ground or Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried sage
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
vegetable oil spray
1/2 cup ketchup or barbeque sauce (optional)

Preheat oven to 350˚F. 

Use a food processor to finely chop walnuts, onion, celery, carrot, and green bell pepper. Combine all ingredients except vegetable oil spray and ketchup or barbeque sauce in a large bowl. Stir with a large spoon or knead by hand until well-mixed, about 1 minute.

Press into a vegetable oil sprayed 5"×9" loaf pan or similar baking dish.

Top with ketchup or barbeque sauce, if using. Bake 60 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting.
