Oatmeal Patty Bake

This is a nice money-saving and healthy dish for a large family. You will be surprised at how delicious these patties are!

Makes about 14 patties.

Ingredients:

• 1 3/4 c boiling water
• 1/4 c soy sauce
• 1 Tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
• 2 Tbsp melted butter
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 1 clove minced garlic or 1 tsp dry minced garlic
• 2 c quick oats
• 1/4 c all purpose flour
• 1 tsp rubbed sage
• 2 Tbsp nutritional yeast
• 1 egg, well-beaten
• 3/4 c almond meal
• 2-3 Tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup
• 1 c evaporated milk

Directions:

1. Soak oats in boiling water for five minutes. Add soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, melted butter, onion, garlic, sage, nutritional yeast, egg, and almond meal. Mix well.
2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heat a tablespoon of the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Drop the oat mixture by heaping tablespoons into the hot skillet and spread the mixture so it forms rough patty shapes. This may take 2-3 batches to complete. Be sure to brown the patties well on both sides.
3. In small bowl, combine mushroom soup and milk. Put browned patties in an 13x9x2 inch baking dish, forming a double layer. Cover with the mushroom soup mixture and bake about 25-30 minutes. Serve with baked potatoes.
