Gardein Beefless Tips in veggie broth gravy, mashed potatoes with red cabbage, and baby carrots, buttered. I tried to put a brave face on for hubby about those beefless tips but he took one bite and said nope. So I threw mine out too. Not good. Hard pass on those. They did smell good before cooking but didn't taste good at all and didn't like the texture either.
I don't think it was the taste as much as the texture, very pasty, no push back on the teeth. But you're right, I did think later I should have let them cool off and I may have used them for something cold such as a sandwich. But I wasn't fishing them out of the compost!Oh what a shame as you could have salvaged the tips by making either a cottage pie or pasties. We don't get them over here but I have made them in the past when I was in the US and really liked them. If I rightly remember I made a stir fry with them. I think the problem is that they
are related to beef and they don't take anything like the latter.

I did brown them up first in some oil, then I just put gravy over top on the plate. Not for me, unfortunately. Hubby's off to get my Beyond Nuggets at A&W right now. And some fries, I love their fries. My stomach is rumbling in anticipation. LOLHappy Anniversary!
I do like the Beefless tips also but do not put them in gravy or sauce without first giving them a bit of browning in the frying pan. I don't have them often but sometimes when I do I also add a bit of sweet chili sauce or something like that to the pan as I am browning them. The browning adds just a bit of a bite resistance.
We are having are beans on toast with Just Egg patties, toast and maybe a hash brown.
