Lentil Loaf

I miss(ed) meat loaf, I'm not gonna lie. But really, I think this probably tastes better. 

2.5 cups cooked lentils, slightly mashed (I use Trader Joe's pre-cooked lentils) 
1 medium shallot, diced
1 cup oats 
1/2 cup grated cheese (cheddar, fontina, etc.)
1 egg + 1 egg white, beaten
1/2-2/3 cup spaghetti sauce or BBQ sauce
1 large clove garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon  salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix lentils, onion, oats, and cheese,1/2 c of sauce, salt, and pepper. Add remaining sauce so long as the mixture will not be too sloppy. Add eggs and stir to combine. Spray a loaf pan with cooking spray and spread the lentil mixture into it. Even out the top surface with a spatula. 
Bake uncovered 30-40 minutes or until top is golden and crispy.
(optional: top with additional BBQ or spaghetti sauce before baking)

Let cool at least 5 minutes. And then turn out of loaf pan.
