If you're a lot like me and keep a shit ton of staples on hand, then any time you get home need something good, yet easy to make, MAKE THIS!!!
This recipe calls for TVP which i buy from the bulk bins at my health food grocer. This stuff is really cheap and pretty versatile. You can make veggie bacon bits but i mainly use it as a sub for ground round for veggie "neat" loafs or chili. Typical instructions say to "rehydrate it" prior to cooking but i just add some water to this recipe to save on time and to keep it a one dish meal.
Serves 4
Ingredients:
1 can Kidney Beans - not drained (or any bean... black beans are good especially these ones)
1 8oz can tomato sauce ( i guess you could use a 14.5 oz can of canned tomatoes but the 8oz can costs $.33 at my grocer)
1/2 C TVP
1 packet of chili seasonings mix (don't fucking judge me... just buy it) I like the Simply Organic brand and it comes in mild, spicy and vegetarian
1/2C water
Put all ingredients in pan. stir. Turn heat to low. Simmer 15 minutes. Stir every once in awhile. Done.
I serve mine on top a baked potato with cheese and chopped chives or scallions. For a quick "micro baked" potato: take a potato, wash well, poke holes in it, sprinkle salt all over it (not too much though), put in micro 2-3 minutes, turn over, micro another 2-3 minutes. DUNZO!
It's also good on corn chips (my version of frito pie), on corn bread or on an omelet (if you're hungover like i was last Saturday).
This dish freezes well too for even faster dinners
