List of Ingredients

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup diced green bell pepper
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 garlic cloves -- minced
1 jalapeño pepper -- seeded and chopped
1/2 cup barbecue sauce -- divided
2 cups mashed cooked peeled baking potato (about 1-pound uncooked potatoes)
1 cup regular oatmeal
1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro
1/4 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 (16-ounce) can kidney beans -- drained and mashed
Cooking spray
3/4 cup (3 ounces) shredded reduced-fat sharp Cheddar cheese


Recipe

Preheat oven to 375*. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and next 5 ingredients; saute 3 minutes. Stir in 1/4 cup barbecue sauce, potato, and the next 7 ingredients (potato through beans). Spoon the potato mixture into a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 375º for 30 minutes. Brush 1/4 cup barbecue sauce over loaf, and sprinkle with cheese. Bake an additional 10 minutes or until done.
"Kidney beans and mashed potatoes are the hearty base to this zesty `meatless loaf,' which is made flavorful with lots of peppers, barbecue sauce, and cilantro."
