Four Recipes That Are Perfect for That Plant-Based Meat You've Been Meaning to Try
If you still haven't tried meatless meat yet, you're not alone. But you almost are. Vegetarian “meats” become available in more restaurants and more grocery stores seemingly every day, and they're bound to end up in your kitchen eventually. But what will you do with them once they get there? That's the question we're answering with these four recipes, each one perfect for a 1:1 swap of meatless meat for ground beef or sausage.

Ground beef is where most people start their meatless meat journey, and what's the best vehicle for ground beef? A classic Tex-Mex taco. No changes necessary to this recipe: simply replace the beef with an equal amount of vegetarian substitute such as Lightlife Plant-Based Ground. Oh, and note: This recipe is a little spicy, but you can totally skip the serranos and substitute a packaged taco seasoning mixture for the spices, especially if you’re cooking for kids.
