Johnny Marzetti (recipe post can be made vegan)

[Guest guest]

Not sure if anyone remembers GranBurger TVP granules in a container that looked

like a quart of milk. This is a wonderful recipe I have used for over 15 yrs.

One I cut from the side of one of their containers they posted years back.

First dish I ever used TVP in.

It takes any unflavored or flavored TVP dry granules. Happy I ran across this

again. Was missing for the past year. Believe me kids love this one. Here you

go:m
