Augason Farms Beef Flavored Vegetarian Meat Substitute 2 lbs 5 oz No. 10 Can

You betcha I was skeptical, but have given up meat so when I saw this I thought ok so I loose $11 bucks or hit the jackpot. Well folk's I hit the Jackpot! Love this product, have used it twice now and it really does cook up like it was beef. I add bouillon to it to give it more flavor but I will say that when you open the can the aroma of beef is very prevalent. I followed directions the first time, 1 part "Beef" to 2 parts water, but found it to be a bit on the wet, soupy side - like you cooked ground beef in water. You may want to play around with the amount of water or stock you use but after cooking it it really did seem like ground beef. I have since used it in chili and WOW does it work great! I will be purchasing other items from Augason Farms now that I know they have a quality product. Can't wait to try the "Taco" and "Bacon" flavors :)

This was a repeat order for me. I had been unable to find it in my local store. Now my local store carries it. This is the most economical and best tasting beef replacement product I have found. I highly recommend you give it a try! My first recipe was my famous meatloaf. I made it with this and another batch with regular beef for comparison since I have family members that eat both. The meat eating group said the texture and taste was very similar. I took it to a church potluck where nearly everyone is vegetarian and I had several people ask what "veggie meat" I used and would I share my recipe with the church.
