For best results, ensure the tofu is thoroughly drained and pressed to remove excess moisture. This will help prevent a soggy meatloaf. Feel free to experiment with different cheeses. Mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or even a smoked Gouda would be delicious additions. Add a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce for a boost of umami flavor. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the vegetable mixture. Serve with a side of mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
