Mix well. -Preheat oven to 375F -Grease baking dishes (bread loaf pans work) and add the mixture to it. -Bake for 35-40 min. Note: original recipe had apple cider vinegar, but it still tasted good without it Note: original recipe didn't have nutritional yeast. Is it necessary? Note: original recipe used bread instead of oatmeal, but it tasted good (probably better) with oatmeal. However, it didn't stick together very well - try another binder next time? Try removing ketchup next time? Note: original recipe had these spices, but I couldn't tell the difference between one with spices and one without: 2 tsp parsley 2 tsp chives 2 tsp chili powder
