Versatile Vegan Meaty Crumbles
We have been enjoying these Vegan Meat Crumbles for years. They are a milder version of my oh so popular Spicy Vegan Chorizo Sausage Crumbles, and originally modified from the oldRaw Taco Filling we still love!
As a long time vegan, I often hear "why do vegans want to mimic meat?" when people see a meat substitute like this vegan ground beef style recipe.
Well.
I have heard a few different answers to this question, including the idea that many people actually did like meat before deciding to stop seeing animals as food.
That wasn't really me, as I have had an aversion to meat from a very young age. Longtime readers may recallthe Hot Dog Incident from a six year old vegetarian Kristina.
However, I do love amping up a hearty spaghetti sauce:
Add vegan ground beef to our Slow Cooker Basil Marinara and serve over fresh cooked spaghetti... a perfect Sunday Night Sauce!
I love tasty tacos. I crave a flavorful burrito that is familiar and filling. We make hearty, taco style baked potatoes topped with vegan ground beef! I don't see too much difference in beginning a recipe with a base, then adding flavor to it - this recipe is like any vegan ground beef where flavor is added - spices and aromatics.
There are plenty of vegans wanting traditional foods. With my recipes, I want to give them plant based alternatives to traditional foods. People with allergies? If I can also make these recipes gluten and soy free? I will do my best.
This vegan ground beef is moist, not dry. The deep flavors and layers of texture play well with so many recipes. I have a couple recipes featuring these meaty crumbles - I will be sharing soon!
Until then, spaghetti anyone?
Taco Tuesday is always right around the corner...
