Hello!

 

Has anyone used TVP chunks in your crockpot? I am interested in

making a Beefless Stew in the crockpot, and I have a bag of beef

flavored TVP chunks, but I am not sure what to do with them. Should

I toss them in with all the ingredients in the beginning? Or should I

wait and reconstitute them and add them at the end? I would think it

would be nice for them to soak up the flavors of the stew, but at the

same time I don't want to overcook them......

 

Any ideas, experiences???

 

Thanks!!!!
