Vegetarian Roast | Special K Loaf Recipe

Vegetarian roast made with Special K cereal. Delicious vegetarian Special K loaf recipe. Also known as cottage cheese loaf.

Growing up, this was my comfort food. On those cold New England nights my mom would make us this amazing vegetarian roast made with Special K cereal. I could smell this delicious dish from my room and it would have me running downstairs asking if dinner was almost ready! 

It was a great trick to have us help set the table because by the time you start to smell this amazing dish…. it still has 30 minuets to cook. 

So set the dishes on the table and ask your little ones to do the silverware. Because you and your big kids are going to make a salad and talk about their school day.

Although meat was not a staple in my home growing up, it has become semi normal in our own home now. But every once in a while we want a meatless night and even my meat eater of a husband likes this dish!

Vegetarian Roast- Special K Loaf Recipe

Ingredients

• 1/2 chopped onion
• 1- 24oz container of cottage cheese
• 1 ½ packets of George Washington seasoning/broth (may be substituted for 1 packed onion soup mix, but to make the best version of this dish G. Washington seasoning/broth is the way to go)
• 2 eggs beaten 
• 1/2 cup melted butter
• 3 1/2 cups Special K cereal 
• 1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

In a large mixing bowl mix all of your ingredients together, folding in the Special K last. 

Spray a 9×13 baking dish with cooking spray and pour in the mixture. 

Cover with tin foil and bake for 45 minutes at 350.

Uncover and bake at 400 degrees an additional 30 minutes, until brown and firm along the top and sides. 

This is the perfect dish for a chilly night. It goes well with baked potatoes and a side salad. Now I love dipping things. (My pizza in garlic butter for example) And for me, this special k loaf is great for dipping in a little BBQ sauce. 

*Note- As I’ve mentioned above you can substitute the George Washington seasoning/broth or 1 packet of onion soup mix. I hate to do it because it changes the dishes flavor. It can be a little hard to find George Washington seasoning/broth, but you can find it on amazon, as I’ve linked for you above. 

I hope you like this vegetarian roast recipe made with special k cereal, as much as my family does!
