my vibes are comfortable and cozy on this rainy florida day, which means food to match! my Healthy Vegan Hamburger Helper is honestly pretty revolutionary when it comes to veganizing non-vegan dishes along with making them healthier.
perhaps you have tried hamburger helper before, and perhaps not.
personally, i ate it probably a handful of times when i was younger-talking grade school here.
whether you ate it or not, loved it or hated it, my version is here to impress and take flavors to a new level.
alright, so the sauce is what makes this dish good, it HAS to be good + packed with flavor.
there’s lots of routes you could take when it comes to making the base. anything from tofu, to cashews, potatoes, carrots, parsnips and more.
i went with parsnips this time because they’re so good for you and i LOVE the flavor.
if you are not a fan, you can always replace them with potatoes or sweet potatoes, either would be a great replacement.
whatever you use, you’re going to have to boil the root vegetable first. whether that be potatoes or parsnips, you have to boil them until super tender.
the whole process is extremely easy. after you boil the parsnips, you can add all sauce ingredients to a blender.
separately, you can cook pasta of your choosing and also sauté onions, tomatoes and your vegan beef alternative.
some recipes call for cooking everything at once in a large pot, but personally, i like this way better. the noodles are fully cooked through and it’s easy.
when it comes to the meat alternative you use, there are two brands that i recommend.
first, if you can get your hands on Trader Joe’s turkey less patties, that would be the best choice.
my second choice would be the meatless farm co. ground meat, which you can definitely find at Whole Foods.
just check their store locator to see where you can purchase. both of these brands work excellently in this dish in terms of taste and texture.
a straight up veggie burger is something you don’t want to use. texture is important here!
mmm the sauce is SO creamy and tasty, honestly could eat it by the spoonful haha.
