Meatless crumbles are sort of a godsend for vegetarians. Finally, we aren’t forced to claim the side dish is an acceptable and satisfying meal (it’s called a SIDE dish for a reason) or shove a block of poorly prepared tofu around our plates.
Heat a large non stick skillet to medium high heat. Add the oil, onions and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes while stirring. Add in the mushrooms and cook, stirring for 3-5 minutes until the mushrooms are cooked. If you find the pan getting to hot, turn it down to medium heat. Now add the frozen meatless crumbles and lentils.
It’s time to reinvigorate meatless main courses. The crumbles (my personal go-to are Boca brand’s Veggie Ground Crumbles ) easily take on whatever flavors you season them with, and cook in little-to-no time at all. Not to mention, using them in place of actual ground beef saves calories, cholesterol, and fat.
Either way, these 22 low-carb meatless recipes are guaranteed pleasers (even for the pickiest eaters in the fam) and easy enough to make any night of the week. They're also proof that vegetarian recipes don't have to be boring.
