Sausage Crumbles

[phishgrl23]

I was making boca sauage, and i didn't realize how awful it tastes without some spices. I looked up sausage on here and used all the recommended spices and soy sauce that this recipe called for and it tasted great! Just llike sausage (as far as i remember). I liked it so much, that the next time i made sausage, i used tvp instead of that expensive boca sausage and used this recipe to a T, and it turned out even better than the boca. If you want a good cheap recipe for sausage, this one is great. I used it in sausage gravy and biscuits, they went over really well. Everyone's asking mr to make more. Thanks!

I never really liked sausage, but this recipe had such a wonderful combination of seasonings that I had to try it.  I didn't have onion powder, so I subbed 1/2 t onion salt and an extra 1/4 t garlic powder.  Lovely.

this was an awesome recipe, it really tasted just like real sausage crumbles. My meat-eating housemate said that it tasted just like the sausage they put on pizza. My only recommendation is don't use the extra salt; the soy sauce makes it plenty salty. Overall, a delicious, easy, and pretty cheap recipe...definitely cheaper than buying premade crumbles.

This recipe is great! I added 1 Tablespoon tomato paste and 1/2 teaspoon basil and it was delicious!

My omni dad had to repeat "It tastes just like real sausage!" about a dozen times because he couldn't believe it! And he's never impressed with anything involving soy, so that is a big compliment to this recipe!

Just whipped these together in less than 10 minutes, very easy. I haven't fried them in the pan yet, but they taste very much like processed packaged sausage. I'm pleased with the results and looking forward to making this alot. The recipe is very versatile, I'm going to add Italian seasoning to the net batch to make pizza sausage. Thanks for the quick recipe. I liked it so much that I emailed it to my sister(she's also a vegan).

Fried this up this morning, broiled it for 5 mins, just to get it crispy. Delish.....I'll never buy crumbles from the store again;well, not unless I run out of TVP

I made these last night and used them to make a 'sausage' and veggie pizza. These crumbles are DELICIOUS!!! I subbed an extra tablespoon of Bragg's amino's for the salt, used paprika instead of cayenne, and left out the fennel seeds. The result was fantastic. I was eating the stuff directly out of the pan -- even my toddler couldn't get enough! This is a recipe that I will use again and again!

It's been years since I bought textured vegetable protein.  But this recipe sounds very good indeed.  I would really like to try it.  Would someone please tell me, is the appropriate product a fine grade or chunky?

With very many thanks

Cheers!

Adagio, I made my sausage crumbles with TVP flakes, not as big as chunks. The flakes are small. My grocery store sells them in bulk. Good Luck, this recipe is really easy and really tasty.

I just made a half batch of this to put on pizza and it's so good!  Didn't have garlic powder or onion powder so I used 2 crushed cloves of garlic instead.  It definitely reminds me of the Italian sausage my parents used to get...I'm tempted to make spaghetti sauce for them with this instead of real sausage and see if they notice.

This is so amazingly tasty!  I could not believe how much it tasted like real sausage!  I never really liked the store bought fake meats....but this is so easy and good.  I am already imagining a million things to make with this recipe.  Thanks!

I was in the mood for something bad I followed this recipe and made a few adjustments, I added in little maple syrup, crushed peppers, and a splash of apple cider vinegar. Gave it a great apple-wood smoke taste. Put it between toast with better than cream cheese. Color was off, taste was Yummy!! Thanks for the recipe.

this was freakin' sweet!!! I just recently found I get very bloated every time I eat wheat so I can't have any veggie sausage from the store now.  I was so bummed, but this stuff is even better. Thank you sooooooo much. You are a beautiful person.
