  It would be about 4$ for 11oz. using the coupon. I think regular ground beef is almost 4$ right now? You could skip it and use more veggies.

  Morning Star makes meatless crumbles, may be cheaper than Beyond Meat.

  There is a $1/1 Beyond Meat coupon available on Mambo Sprouts –

  And I think there are often cash back offers available on Ibotta to save you even more! 🙂

  If you sign up for the Beyond Meat emails, they send out monthly coupons, often $1 off or buy on get one free coupons. If you onlinebine with manufacturers or Whole Foods coupons, you can usually get these at ~$2 per bag.

   You could always add some extra veggies and eliminate the meatless crumbles. I might try some zucchini, squash and corn or something instead.

   Looks delicious… Thanks! Using jarred pasta sauce is such a time-saver.

   Where would I find that meatless crumble. I have never heard of it. I shop at Kroger. Would they sell it?

  Kroger doesn’t sell it. You can find Morning Star though, it’s in the regular freezer section. Beyond Meat is frozen too, but at Whole Foods, Sprouts.

  Look in the freezer section with the Morning Star products there is also a Gardein brand that Kroger carries and sometimes you can find Bocca or Quorn, they are all good.

  You can try Target too in the freezer case. It’s with Morningstar Farms & Gardein products.

    There are cheaper alternatives to meatless “meat” but just put in beans instead or make your own meatless crumbles they’re pretty easy actually and much more economical. Thank you so much for these vegetarian meals, so appreciated!!!

    I think this tastes like a cross between goulash and chilli.

    Yum! Loving the meatless monday ideas. This meal can be made as is or changed up to meet anyone’s needs. When you think about what a large amount of soup it is then the meatless meat seems reasonably priced. Sometimes I just put half of whatever the recipe calls for of meat just so I feel like I’m getting some meat flavor and that saves me $ too.

    Eliminate jarred pasta sauce and add a large can of crushed tomatoes with fresh basil, oregano, minced garlic and a splash of red wine and salt. It is so much more flavorful. You can use garbanzo beans, zucchini and kale instead of meatless crumbles.

    I am vegan and always have TVP (textured vegetable protein) in the cabinet. It is a soy product but i usually use it when i have non-vegans over for dinner! You can usually get it in the bulk section of grocery store so you save money there by only grabbing what you need. Its dried so you have to reconstitute it. Sometimes I use water or veggie broth. Afterwards it looks just like those crumbles without the caramel coloring! And no one can tell the difference which is the best part! HTH for an alternative.

    I made a similar recipe tonight. I purée the canned beans since my kids don’t like chunks. It makes the soup nice and thick.

    Thank you so much Lina! Just made this using almost all organic ingredients (minus the meatless crumble) and gluten free pasta. It was soooooooo good! And it was like less than $15 for the whole pot! 😉
