Fake Meat Products

I've mentioned before how much I like Morningstar Farms Veggie Bacon on a BLT. Another product that Morningstar Farms makes that is excellent is the Grillers Recipe Crumbles. It is textured vegetable protein that substitues seemlessly for ground beef in a recipe.

A simple week night meal for us is tacos with Morningstar Farms Grillers Recipe Crumbles.

I start out my chopping up a red onion and sauteeing it in a teaspoon of canola oil. Then I add my recipe crumbles and heat through. I throw in some taco seasoning, which comes in little packets, and some water and simmer for about 7 minutes.

I like to serve the tacos on warm 6" corn tortillas with sharp cheddar cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, avocado and cilantro.

This turns out a very yummy & flavorful meal. My boyfriend who is a meat-eater, says he can't tell the difference between the Recipe Crumbles and real ground beef when used in recipes.

I've also used the similar Boca Burger product and it is also very good. I just buy whichever is on sale.
