Recipe Notes

  • Instead of ketchup, try BBQ sauce and bacon crumbles on top, or marinara sauce with dried oregano and thyme.

  • Use ground pork or turkey instead of beef – there's enough flavor in other ingredients that the choice of meat here doesn't affect final taste much.

  • Add nutrition by mixing in finely chopped or grated carrot, bell pepper, or celery.

  • Spread leftovers evenly on a baking pan and reheat at 350 for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through. This will give you some little crispy edges and a "new" pasta.

  • Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free breadcrumbs, such as Kroger, Simply Balanced, or Schar. 

  • Dairy-Free: Use dairy-free milk, such as almond, cashew, soy, or pea protein.

  • Egg-Free: Use 1 flax egg (1 Tbsp flaxseed meal mixed with 3 Tbsp water).

  • Vegan: Make a Vegan Lentil Loaf!
