Yes. But it has very little taste, it's much better in

strongly flavored recipes (sloppy joes, chili, etc.).

 

I've never tried it as meat loaf, but I can't see this, I

don't think it would work well. Hamburgers: no. For one

thing it doesn't stick together, then there's the lack of

taste.

 

It's OK for pasta sauce, tacos should be OK: anywhere that

has strong flavors, I think.

>2. Could I mix it with meat (we still eat some meat) for these type dishes?

 

Yes. And this would give it more taste.

You're welcome.
