Basic Peanut Loaf Recipe
1 ½ cups peanut butter
1 cup hot water
15 oz can tomato sauce
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons dried minced green onions
- Brown flour lightly until golden brown. Do not over brown. It will taste bad if its burned.
- Heat peanut butter in microwave until it takes on a thinner consistency. Blend together water and peanut butter. Add tomato sauce, salt and minced green onions and blend until smooth in food processor or blender.
- Pour into 3 well-buttered 15 ounce cans. You can use cooking spray. Cover cans with aluminum foil and steam on low heat in a large covered kettle on a rack for 3+ hours with 2-3 inches of water at the bottom of the kettle at all times.
- After they are cooked, cool the cans on the counter and then the refrigerator until they are completely cool. Release the edges with a knife. Then the nut loaf can slip out of the cans. You might have to shake the cans a little to get the nut loaf out.
