I was feeling in the need for a hearty dish the other night and caved in the grocery store, bringing home a package of faux ground beef. I try to avoid processed faux meats, but ya know…sometimes one craves it. Simple and easy, perfect for a rushed kind of day!

Looks delicious. Have you tried Field Roast sausages yet? I finally tried them….the apple sage is amazing!!
Yes! Our Costco carries a 3 pack of the flavors for cheap as well!
Post Punk Kitchen changed my life with baked seitan. I would probably use that in this dish because I make an incredible italian version. This looks delicious!!
That would be good!
Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do! I made burritos for my family with a package of smart ground I found in the bottom of my freezer just last week. I haven’t bought it in a really long time, but everyone enjoyed it while I munched on a raw meal. Yeah, I was a little jealous 😉
It solves my bad cravings I get every so often. Better than ending up in a hamburger joint eating a cholesterol nightmare 😉 Heh!
