Here's a recipe for "Special K Loaf," that wonderful Adventist substitute for meatloaf:

There are several recipes for Special K Loaf floating around the internet.  This version has been traditionally served at the first-Sabbath-of-the-month potlucks at my church, and it is very popular, and very delicious.  There are two parts, the loaf itself, and a red glaze that is spread on the top.  Even if you haven't darkened the doorway of an Adventist church in decades, this is "comfort food."

Special K Loaf:

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup butter or margerine
• 1 cup chopped onions
• 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
• 3 teaspoons McKay's chicken seasoning (or suitable substitute)
• 1 package George Washington broth (or suitable subsitute)
• 5 eggs (extra Large)
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 quart cottage cheese
• 4 cups Special K cereal
• 1 13 ounce can of soymeat chicken style or FriChick

Directions:

Saute onions, nuts, seasoning, and broth powder in butter.  In large bowl, beat eggs and milk together and combine with diced soymeat and the remaining ingredients.  Bake the mixture in a greased large flat pan at 350 degrees for 60 to 90 minutes (usually closer to 90).  Spread with the red sauce prior to the last 1/2 hour of baking.

Red Sauce

Ingredients:

• 2 Tablespoons butter
• 1/4 cup chopped onions
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup ketchup
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 generous shakes of "liquid smoke" (or comparable product)

Directions:

Saute butter and chopped onions.  Separately simmer remaining incredients for five minutes.  Combine both parts, mix, and spread over the Special K Loaf prior to the last 1/2 hour of baking time.

I actually prepared this for Christmas dinner.  It was a big hit, and everyone appreciated it.  The seasonings are not readily available, so I substituted one cube of chicken broth and one package of McCormick's meatloaf seasoning.  If I had it to do over, I'd cut about half of the brown sugar out of the glaze recipe; ketchup already has a substantial dose of sugar.  I also see that the recipe calls for 2 teaspoons of chili powder, and I only put in one.
