Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 12 ounces vegan ground beef
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 3 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup almond milk or other non-dairy milk
- 2 cups uncooked macaroni pasta
- 1 quarter cup nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
Add the vegan ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until it is browned, about 4-5 minutes.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for an additional 2 minutes to release its flavor.
Pour in the vegetable broth and almond milk, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the uncooked macaroni pasta, stirring to combine.
Mix in the nutritional yeast, soy sauce, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and allow the mixture to simmer for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the pasta is al dente.
Once the pasta is cooked to your liking, remove the skillet from the heat and allow it to sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your Vegan Homemade Hamburger Helper hot!
