Beef Marinara...Without the Beef!

Who's got the beef?! No one? What? We don't need it! This recipe has a good hearty flavor that will not make you miss the beef. Animal products and several other things bother my stomach. Having IBS, esophagitis, and many other things going on with my digestive system can make it difficult for me to eat. Here is a good recipe for anyone who wants a more mild tummy time while enjoying good food!

Ingredients:


  • 1 serving of gardein brand of beefless strips
  • 1 cube of frozen pumpkin puree (Put a can of pumpkin in an ice-cube tray...you can put frozen pumpkin in many things!)
  • 1/2 of cup of your favorite Newman's tomato sauce
  • 1/2 cup of frozen stir fry veggies
  • 1/2 cup of green beans
  • pepper to taste
  • Chili powder to taste
  • 1 tsp of liquid smoke (You can find inexpensive bottles near the barbecue sauce in your grocery store.)
Directions:

1. Place all ingredients in to a sauce pan and cook over medium to medium-low heat.

2. Place the lid on and stir occasionally

3. Cook for about 10 minutes or until everything is thoroughly warmed through

4. Enjoy!
