Ingredients:

• 15 oz. can of strained pinto beans
• 3 tomatoes roughly chopped
• 6 Tablespoons of "Tofutti Non-Dairy Cream Cheese" (garlic and onion)
• 3 cloves smashed garlic
• 1 minced onion
• 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1 package "Gimme Lean" ground beef
• 1 roughly chopped red pepper
• Freshly ground pepper and sea salt to taste

Method

On medium high heat, brown garlic and onions in olive oil in a deep soup pot. Add red pepper when onions and garlic have turned a light golden brown. Wait 5 to 6 minutes and add strained beans. Let simmer with lid on for 10 minutes. Add the non-diary cream cheese. In a separate pan, brown vegan "ground beef" in olive oil with salt and pepper. Once the "meat" is firm in texture, add to the other pot with simmering beans etc. Let simmer on low temperature for about 45 minutes. Serve to hungry family with crusty bread! Tastes even better the next day!

Notes:

Number of servings: 4 to 6
