Nana has almost overwhelmed me with the number of yummy yet simple vegan dishes she has been preparing. Now before you meat eaters scroll on by hear me out. I drink cow milk. I love me some bacon. And I promise I would never ever lead you astray. These recipes are healthy, simple, and best of all delicious. You will come out on the other side of this meal unscathed. You may even make some new friends. For those of you who already enjoy meatless meals…let the rejoicing begin!
One of Nana’s newest finds is Beyond Beef Crumbles made by Beyond Beef. I find this meat substitute made from pea protein oddly satisfying. It has the consistency of very finely ground beef and honestly I’m not sure I would have realized it wasn’t beef when used in her recipes. According to the Beyond Beef website:
“BEEFY CRUMBLE
- A beefy kick for any ground beef recipe.
- All of the protein, half of the fat —
- 13g of protein and 5g of fat per 55g serving.
- The only gluten-free AND soy-free crumble on the market.
- No Cholesterol, Antibiotics or Saturated Fat.
- Perfect for chili’s, tacos, nachos and more!”
And maybe they will add to their list “perfect for Fiesta Stuffed Veggies a la Nana”.
