Meatless Monday #6

Hamburger(Less) Helper !

If you are familiar with the traditional Hamburger Helper Meal, this meatless meal will be just as simple to prepare.  The difference is this meal was prepared with meatless grounds  - absolutely no meat involved.  To prepare this dish, I seasoned the meatless grounds just as I would ground beef , chicken or turkey.  Since the meatless grounds are already brown, I just allowed the flavors from the bell pepper and garlic to cook into the grounds (about 10 minutes or so on medium heat).

Then, I added the meatless grounds to the sauce that I had already prepared.  This simmered on medium to low heat for about 30 minutes.  During this time, I cooked my elbow macaroni until done.  Afterwards, I drained the macaroni and mixed it with the sauce. 

To complete this meal, I steamed some peas and carrots, browned some rolls and sliced some bell peppers.

Enjoy!
