How do I pick a meat substitute For Slow COoker Vegetarian CHili

There are several kinds of meat substitutes on the market now. decide what matters most. Generally, my advice is go with what you like. Morningstar and Quorn are good options if you are not a huge fan of things that taste close to real meat, while Beyond Meat and Boca are much closer to the real thing.
However, which one you choose for this particular slow cooker vegetarian recipe is not that big of a deal. I’ve made this slow cooker vegetarian chili recipe with both Aldi’s brand and Quorn. The flavors blend together so well that virtually any meat substitute will do. On that note, I have used both frozen crumbles and refrigerated mock ground and they both worked equally well.
For my vegan and gluten free friends, be sure to read the ingredients. The Quorn crumbles, for example, have egg whites in them. Here’s some options to help:
Where do I find vegetarian “ground beef”?

It’s pretty easy to find in most stores now. I’ve gotten meat substitutes at Target, Walmart, Aldi, Family Fare, Winn-Dixie, and Hy-Vee, just to name a few. There are several different places to look. I would check the frozen section, the health/natural foods section and the deli. I know it’s odd, but they’ve started to put plant-based meats in right in-between the hamburger.
