This recipe makes 2 loaves so you can freeze one for later or feed a big family. A perfect dinner loaf, but would also would make great open-face sandwiches for lunch.

Ingredients | Lentil Loaf With Oats

5 cups water

1 (16 ounce) package lentils

2 tablespoons olive oil

½ onion, diced

1 cup minced fresh spinach

1 cup minced carrot

1 tablespoon minced garlic

12 slices bread, torn into small pieces

2 cups vegetable broth

4 eggs

¼ cup ketchup

1 packet dry vegetable soup mix

2 teaspoons dried parsley

1 teaspoon dried basil

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

¼ cup ketchup, or to taste

Directions

Bring water and lentils to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until lentils are tender, about 40 minutes. Drain.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease two 5x9-inch loaf pans.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion, spinach, carrot, and garlic in the hot oil until onion is tender, 5 to 10 minutes.

Mix lentils, onion mixture, bread, vegetable broth, eggs, 1/4 cup ketchup, soup mix, parsley, basil, and black pepper in a bowl. Divide mixture into the prepared loaf pans. Drizzle 2 tablespoons ketchup over each loaf.

Bake in the preheated oven until cooked through, about 50 minutes. Let loaves sit for 10 minutes before serving.

I have used several different flavors of the Lipton(R) soup mix. The onion and the mushroom onion both taste VERY good with this recipe!
