In this video we are test tasting the two of the most popular ground meat substitutes on the market right now for the first time, giving our review and then stay tuned so I can show you how I made the meatballs!
Prices:
Lightlife was $8 for 12 oz
Beyond Beef was $10 for 16 oz
So they were nearly the same price per oz.
Price for 2 slices of Chao less than $1
Here is the meatball recipe for Lightlife, if you are using beyond meat just use a “heaping” amount of this recipe if you choose:
In a bowl combine:
1 package of ground meat substitute
1 flax egg (1 tbsp ground flax, 2 tbsp water, mix and let sit for a few minutes)
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic salt
1 tbsp nutritional yeast
1/4 cup shy of bread crumbs
(Try out fresh or dried Italian herbs, or anything else from your own original recipe:))
Combine well, make roughly 1-2 inch diameter balls.
Air fryer – Put in for 10 minutes at 400 degrees F, another 5-10 if not cooked through.
Bake – 10 -15 minutes at 375/400 degrees F, check and continue to cook at 5 minute increments until done, package may have directions you can follow as well.
Skillet – In sauce, follow package directions. (usually about 2-3 minutes per side making sure all sides are cooked).
