Meatless Meatloaf and Mushroom gravy with mashed potatoes

Meatless (Meat)loaf 

This is a recipe I found that I have been searching FOREVER for. I had to share because even though I did not name it correctly I love and crave this taste. It is a copy cat recipe from a restaurant I love.

This is not a tried recipe by me.

I wish all of us luck in it's proper execution. LOL

Ingredients:
4 eggs
2/3 envelope Lipton Onion Soup Mix (the whole packet measures 1/4 cup, so use slightly less or use the whole packet if you like the onion soup mix taste) - for vegetarian version substitute dry soup mix without beef bouillon
2 cups or 16oz. low-fat ricotta cheese
2 cups or 16oz. firm tofu (mashed into small pieces)
1/4 cup vegetable oil of choice
1/3 cup onions
1/2 cup cooked brown rice
1/2 tsp. oregano
1/2 tsp. basil
1/4 tsp. rosemary (fresh is good)
4 cups (dry measured) Special K (note: this approximately equals 4 oz or 113 grams of the cereal by weight)
1 1/2 tbsp. garlic

FOR THE SAUCE:

1/2 cup ketchup
1/8 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 cup molasses
1/8 cup to 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar (to taste)
Pinch cayenne ground pepper (to taste)
