Ingredients:
1/4 pound vegetable crumbles (Morningstar Brand is what I use)
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (about 15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) Mexican-style stewed tomatoes, undrained
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) no-salt-added diced tomatoes, undrained
1 cup corn (frozen or can)
1 teaspoon Mexican seasoning
1/2 cup uncooked whole wheat elbow macaroni
1/3 cup reduced or no fat sour cream
Preparation: 1. Heat large skillet over medium heat until hot. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir 5 minutes.
2. Stir beans, tomatoes with juice, corn and Mexican seasoning into saucepan; bring to a boil over high heat. Cover; reduce heat to low. Simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt. Rinse and drain pasta; stir into saucepan. Add vegetable crumbles then simmer, uncovered, 2 to 3 minutes or until heated through.
Note: The vegetable crumbles are pre cooked and need only to be warmed up. Cooking them too long will break them down and they no longer will have the texture of a ground meat.
4. Top each serving with dollop of sour cream. Garnish as desired. |
