Here comes a delicious vegan dinner that is perfect for Meatless Mondays or any other days you want to try something easy and tasty. Skillet Macaroni and Tvp Beef is a plant-based version of the classic beef macaroni, replacing meat with textured vegetable protein, a soy-based product that has a meat-like texture and flavor when it's rehydrated. You can find TVP in most health food stores or supermarkets. The dish is hearty and satisfying, making it a great option for those who want to try vegan cuisine or simply reduce their meat intake.

Instructions

1.Heat up a skillet over medium heat, add a teaspoon of cooking oil and sauté onions and red peppers for 3 - 5 minutes until they soften.
2.Add garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional minute. Then, add hydrated and seasoned TVP (textured vegetable protein) to the skillet and mix with the vegetables.
3.Cook elbow macaroni according to the package, but remove it from boiling water 1-2 minutes earlier than the instructed time. Drain and set aside.
4.To the skillet, add tomato sauce, broth, dried oregano, salt and pepper, and cook for 5 minutes until the mixture thickens.
5.Add cooked macaroni to the skillet and stir well. Turn off the heat, and sprinkle vegan cheddar cheese on top of the dish. Cover with a lid for 1-2 minutes or until cheese is melted.

CONS
