How to Make It
1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9 x 13 inch baking dish or deeper loaf pan with parchment paper.
2 Combine all ingredients in large bowl. Press into prepared dish. Poke holes over the top with finger, then spread a thin layer of ketchup over the top with spatula.
3 Bake for 60 minutes. I broil mine for 5 minutes at the end to brown the top.
Cooking Tips
You can use regular tomatoes instead of fire roasted.
Make your own bread crumbs using 2 to 3 slices of toasted bread. Process in a food processor to desired crumb size.
Look for no or low-sugar ketchup.
Instead of ketchup try no or low-sugar BBQ sauce.
Instead of chopping walnuts by hand, you can process them in a food processor.
