Easy Pleasing Meatloaf with Cheezie Potatoes

Meatloaf:


Ingredients:
1 package Yves vegan beef-style crumbles
2 cups Lentil Rice Ground Beef Substitute (or you can use another package of the Yves crumbles here)
6 oz. stuffing mix (I use the Pepperage Farm brand, as it contains no animal products)
1 cup water
2 flax eggs (1 Tbsp flax meal + 3 Tbsp water)
1/2 cup Barbecue sauce, divided (Sweet Baby Ray's original brand is the BEST)

Directions:

• Heat oven to 375.  Mix meat, stuffing mix, water, flax eggs, and 1/4 cup BBQ sauce together until blended.  
• Place in a loaf pan and top with remaining BBQ sauce.  Bake for 1 hour.
