SO HOW'D IT GO?
I made a variation of this last night. I used cooked brown rice and taco flavored tvp that I rehydrated. Instead of adding in plain water, i used some salsa and water. I also sauteed a whole onion with the tvp. It was a good quick meal!
Oh, also, I didn't add in any vegan cheese, but I could see it being good with a nutritional yeast cheese sauce added in!
Not bad overall! I've never had Hamburger Helper before, but I would imagine that this is similar.
Instead of onion powder, I added half of a medium white onion, plus two cloves of garlic. To spice it up, I threw in some cumin, red pepper, parsley, and Mural of Flavor from Penzey's Spices. Since I'm not vegan, I used a blend of real cheeses, and it turned out very well. This is a very filling, quick meal. Thanks for the idea!
