Anybody have any good ideas on how to use this?  I picked some up at the bulk food store and not sure how best to use it.

Pour boiling water over it, enough to cover.  If, after about a half hour there's still moisture, drain it off.  Use as ground beef in tacos, chili, soup.  I buy the Morningstar brand (green bag, called Meal Starters or Crumbles) in the grocery store.  it is TVP but has spices, flavorings added.  Just thaw and use as ground beef.  10 grams of protein in 2/3 cup, 2.5 grams fat.  Don't know how that compares to ground beef as I haven't eaten beef in years.

The one that I bought is off the shelf like dried beans.  Would you use it in the same way or do you know?
