• Serve on a toasted hamburger bun with all the fixings, if desired.
• Adjust amount of bread - oats - wheat germ to your tastes or for desired consistency for either burger or loaf.
• I like to add an additional 2 cloves of garlic fresh after the cooking while blending the bread crumbs.
• Beans, lentil and chick peas can be of the canned variety this cuts down the preparation time but dried taste better. You need to soak and boil for a while 2-3 hours if you use dried beans boil in order chick peas ½ hour later add red beans and in the last half hour add the lentil.
• For the loaf cook at 350 degrees for 1 hour and 15 minutes after the first ½ hour of cooking you add a small can of stewed tomatoes on top of the loaf. A ½ teaspoon of hot pepper flakes blended on in the stewed tomatoes if you like a little spice.
