I use textured vegetable protien (TVP) a lot when money gets tight. It is a cheap way to get your protien and a lovely substitute for ground beef with out the expense. No, it isn't exactly the same but most people couldn't tell the difference when I didn't tell them it wasn't ground beef. This is a nice way to use tvp crumbles. Ingredients:
1 cup textured vegetable protein, crumbles |
1/4 cup onion, diced |
1/4 cup green pepper, diced |
1 (4 ounce) package crescent rolls |
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can pinto beans, use only half |
1 evelope taco seasoning |
8 ounces tomato sauce |
1/2 cup cheddar cheese |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375.
2. Brown beef, onion, and green pepper; drain.
3. Spray and 8 x 8 inch pan with cooking spray. Unroll the cresent rolls (they will unroll right into the pan) and pinch together to form a crust.
4. Bake 6 minutes.
5. Add tomato sauce, beans and seasonings to the tvp crumbles, mix thoroughly.
6. Top crust with meat mixture and bake an additional 10 minutes.
7. Top with cheese and bake another 5 minutes.
