TVP? (Textured vegetable protein)

pinggolfer96

just picked some of this up from whole foods. It's just defatted soy that is dehydrated. I've heard of people using it as a ground beef replacement. I just bought it but have absolutely no idea how to use it in recipes lol. And tips, suggestions, or recipes?(:

Actually pretty good taste. I have used it for chili, spaghetti sauce, sloppy joes, and tacos. It is much more reasonably priced than the frozen crumbles from Boca, Morningstar Farms, etc.

You just hydrate and flavor like meat. If yiu want sloppyjoes add some sauce and sautae till hot, supwr easy and cooks quickly
