Ingredients

• 2 cups Special K cereal
• 1 cup Pecans, chopped
• 1 medium Onion, finely diced
• 3 large Eggs
• 1.5 cups Milk
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cup Dried breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, ground
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard-size loaf pan.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the Special K cereal, chopped pecans, breadcrumbs, and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until smooth.

Step 4

Add the diced onion to the egg mixture and stir to combine.

Step 5

Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently mix until all ingredients are evenly incorporated and the cereal has softened slightly.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly and pressing down gently with a spatula to eliminate air pockets.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the loaf is firm to the touch.

Step 8

Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully transferring it to a serving platter.

Step 9

Slice and serve warm. Pair with a side salad, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal. Enjoy!
