Taco Bean Salad Developed by Karen Graham, Co-Author of Diabetes Essentials
Make this yummy recipe with either veggie ground round or ground beef. Ground round is a commercial vegetarian meat substitute for ground beef made from soy protein. It is precooked so easy to use as it only needs reheating. If you use ground beef, cook it in a heavy pan at medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon, for 10-15 minutes until cooked through, then drain off fat.
