Hamburgerless Helper: The Laziest (But Still Healthy) Meal Ever | Vegan Oil Free

[@Sellsangel]

I put leftover tomato paste in an ice cube tray in 1 Tbsp blobs. Once they are frozen they go in a bag so they are already measured out for recipes 😁

[@debrajessen7975]

That is a very good idea😉👍

[@valerietomsic8454]

I just smush the leftover paste into a plastic sandwich baggie and flatten it...then freeze it....you can later break off whatever amount you need for the next recipe....the pain-in-the-butt is scraping all of the paste OUT of the can!

WOW!!

You can buy tomato paste in a tube - squeeze out just what you need the refrigerate the tube. The greatest invention since sliced bread!

[@WellYourWorld]

Yes I’ve seen those. But still the go-to out in the world is this silly can.

[@m1cajah]

@@WellYourWorld yep, can’t get the tube here in a grocery store…gotta order online.

[@lw9837]

Tubes are much more expensive than the cans! Put the excess paste on some plastic wrap, roll it into a tube/log and freeze. No waste. Or, some folks freeze leftovers in 1 tablespoon blobs, then transfer to a baggie.

[@oscaruglyface]

@@lw9837 The tomato paste in the tubes is more concentrated then the cans though, sometimes 2 or 3x if you read the box

[@wishingb5859]

@@WellYourWorld Just double the recipe and it becomes a whole can and you have leftovers.

Yes! Meat doesn’t bring the flavor to a dish, the plants do… People usually pause for words whenever I point that out in conversation.

[@WellYourWorld]

Yes, I agree!

[@m1cajah]

I mean no offense by this (I am WFPB for almost 4 years now), but the slight char on the burger/mince was always something I really enjoyed. I will replace it with TVP (rehydrated in Better Than Bouillon No Beef Base) and try this recipe though, because this looked fantastic!

I'm going to eat the leftovers from last night for my lunch. Next time I'm going to make a double batch. My son wasn't here or there would be no leftovers lol he is going to love this!

[@sharoninflorida4621]

I can't tell you how good (and easy) this is! My family loved it and I know it's going to become a staple around our house. I did cut up an onion and sauteed it in water until translucent before putting in all the other ingredients. My teenage son and I ate it over rotini pasta, but my hubby doesn't like pasta, so I put his over cooked brown rice (which I always have on hand). He thought it was yummy too!

[@WellYourWorld]

I am so happy to hear that your whole family loved the recipe! Thank you so much for the kind comment, Sharon!

[@annettelauretta]

I scoop the tomato paste into my silicone ice cube freezer trays by tablespoonfuls and freeze it. Then I don't feel the rush to use up the whole can. Once frozen, I transfer to a pyrex container so I can pop the lid whenever I need some 😉

[@plantfueledmamabkansas3417]

This is so awesome! I sometimes forget about lentils and how versatile they are. My son isn't a fan of the chickpea pasta because of the texture, so we get gluten free pasta from Aldi and he likes that one a lot. I can't wait to try this recipe!

I add the cup of lentils and three cups of water in the sauce pan and cook them for 20 to 30 minutes. Then I added all the listed ingredients. It was a little loose so I cooked the noodles and strained them, added the pasta to the sauce and cook on low for 10 more minutes.

Hi John. I like your nut butter in the sauce hack! Yes Hamburger Helper was an American staple used as a recipe starter if you had ground hamburger. So it is a pasta sauce, but we also cooked the lentils and pasta right in there. :)
