Ingredients

  • 1 package neat Original Mix
  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 large red bell peppers, finely chopped
  • 2 large green bell peppers, finely chopped
  • 1 large red onion, finely diced
  • 1 tsp sea salt, divided
  • 3 tbsp marinara sauce
  • 2 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/3 cup dry old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 1/2 tsp finely chopped fresh thyme leaves

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a (PFOA-free) nonstick Dutch oven or extra-large deep skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add bell peppers, onion, and 3/4 teaspoon of the salt, increase heat to medium-high, and saute until vegetables are fully softened and onion begins to brown, about 18 to 20 minutes. Set aside and cover to keep warm (makes about 3 cups bell pepper relish).
  3. Preheat oven to 400F. Stir together neat egg, marinara sauce, garlic, cinnamon (if using), and the remaining 1/4 tsp salt until evenly combined.
  4. Add neat Original mix, oats, thyme, and 1 1/2 cups of the bell pepper relish and stir until well combined. Sculpt the neat loaf mixture into four (5- to 5 1/2-inch long) oval loaves, about 2/3 cup each, on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
  5. Bake until cooked through and browned, about 40 to 45 minutes.
  6. Generously top with the remaining bell pepper relish and serve as an entrée.
