Question about meatless ground beef. [View all]

Hi all! I'm not really a vegetarian, but for the past couple years, I have been trying to include lots of meatless meals each week. Mostly I just go for recipes that do not include meat, rather than using meat substitutes, because I didn't like them when I tried them long ago.

Recently I decided to give them another try. I have been having Boca Burgers (Classic American Burger) this week for dinner and really like it! Even my cats have begged for a bite and liked it! LOL

Anyway, what I remember from several years ago when I made spaghetti with "meat" sauce, is that the ground beef crumbles got really spongy when cooked in the sauce. So I thought I would pop in here and see if anyone recommended a particular brand for the crumbles or if there is a way to avoid the sponginess. Maybe I just need to make the sauce separately and add the meat each time I have it so it doesn't sit in the liquid?

Thanks for any tips!
