    oooh, this sounds awesome! I'm going to replace the veggie grounds with Texturized Vegetable Protein -- it's way cheaper that way with less sodium. - 10/23/09

    Good
    It sounds good except for the veggie ground. I just don't like that. I wonder what it would be like with lentils instead? I'll post if I try it that way! - 10/17/08

    Incredible!
    I made this for a pot luck, and everyone loved it! I subbed:
    ground turkey for veggie ground
    chicken broth for veggie broth
    non-fat plain yogurt for sour cream

    it was delish!

    I love it! I make meat dishes veggie and you made my veggie dish meat. I'm really glad you enjoyed and I bet it was still pretty low cal with the ground turkey.

    Incredible!
    My entire family loved this dish! It was a big hit! I could not find the Yves Veggie Ground Round so I used bocca burgers (about 10 patties) and crumbled them up instead. - 10/1/08
