Beefless Ground Beef

Crumbled extra-firm tofu is a great stand-in for ground beef for a meatless meal. This vegan substitute is perfect in lasagna, tacos, soup and more. We boost the flavor with garlic powder, paprika and tamari, but feel free to add your own flavorings.


Ingredients

1 (16 ounce) package extra-firm tofu, drained, crumbled and patted dry

  • 2 tablespoons tamari

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

  • ½ teaspoon paprika

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
