Directions
Sauté the chopped onion, garlic and olive oil in a sauté skillet (at least 8"), until glassy.
Add the Green pepper, mushroom and HALF the Newman's Dressing, reduce heat and continue to sauté until peppers are cooked (no longer crunchy).
Add seasoning to personal preference.
Preheat oven to 425*.
Meanwhile in a large bowl, combine the bread crumbs (I usually just take stale bread and tear it up into small pieces), one can of the tomato paste, cheeses and Tofu.
Beat the egg separately, and add to Tofu-Bread mixture.
Combine until bread is thoroughly saturated.
Add sautéed vegetables and remaining Newman's Dressing.
The Meatloaf mixture should be cohesive enough to form into a loaf, but not soggy.
If the mixture is too soggy, add more bread. If the mixture is too crumbly, add more dressing, or tomato paste. Tofu has a tendency to separate, so the more bread and cheeses, the better. Spray a loaf pan with a non-stick cooking spray, and spoon tofu mixture into pan, spreading to an even level. Spoon remaining can of Tomato paste over tofu mixture, and spread evenly over the top. Bake in 425 * oven 15 to 25 minutes, or until juices bubble up around the edges.
