Mini Cheezy Pumpernickel Pizza Bites

At a Glance

• Feeds: as many people as you want
• Difficulty: Easy/Medium
• Time: 15-20 minutes

Ingredients

• Soy/Vege Meat Crumble (morning star brand recommended)
• Mini-loaf of pre-sliced Pumpernickel bread (each piece are about 2 or 3 inch squares)
• Block of Velveeta Cheese
• Ketchup or BBQ sauce
  

Method

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees
  
• Defrost the vege crumble in the microwave
• Microwave method (quicker): Add any spices/seasonings, add small blocks of velveeta to the container, and then cook the vege crumble in the according to instructions on package. Judge when to add the cheese according to how long you have to cook it (depends on how much you're making).
• Pan Method: add the vege crumble to the pan on medium heat. Gradually add in velveeta cheese in chunks, slowly mixing it into the meat mixture. You can decide how 'cheesy' you want it as you go. The cheese should melt slowly enough for you to be able to taste test as you go.
  
• While it is cooking, lay out your pumpernickel bread slices on an un-greased baking sheet
• When the meat mixture is ready, put a 1.5 to 2 teaspoons of cooked vege crumble on each piece of bread.
• Slide the baking sheet into the oven for 5-10 minutes at the most. You are only trying to get the bottom of each piece of bread a little crispy, and the tops of the meat/cheese mix a little crunchy. You do not want the meat mixture to get tough. The meat is cooked already, so you can taste test as you go as well.
• Remove from oven when ready, and serve with sides of ketchup or bbq sauce depending on your preference.
  

Faux Cheeseburger Quesadilla

At a Glance

• Feeds: 2 people
• Difficulty: Easy
• Time: 15 minutes
  

Ingredients

• Veggie Crumble
• Shredded Monterrey Jack and Cheddar Cheese
• 2-4 tbsp BBQ sauce
• McCormick's Hamburger Seasoning
• Medium Flour Tortillas
• OPTIONAL: Finely chopped white onion
  
• OPTIONAL: Substitute the kind of cheese that comes pre-made with taco seasoning on it...it really kicks things up a notch!
  

Method

• In small frying pan, add chopped onions with a little non-stick spray on medium heat. You want to cook the onions a little, but not too much. If you like your onions crispy, just put them on low heat until you're ready to assemble your quesadilla.
  
• Heat veggie crumble in microwave until defrosted, according to directions on package
• Add BBQ sauce (as much as you like), and hamburger seasoning, then mix well
  
• Turn large frying pan on to medium/low heat, add a little non-stick spray
  
• Return to heat in Microwave until fully cooked (should only take a couple of extra minutes)
  
• Put flour tortilla in pan, pushing it around to coat in a little oil
• To one side of the tortilla, add cheese, then burger crumble, then onions, then a little more cheese on top
  
• Let it cook until the cheese barely begins to melt, then fold the tortilla over on itself, closing it up.
• Let it cook a little longer, then flip over, being careful not to overcook one side. You want the outside of the tortilla to be crispy, but not burned.
• Repeat process for as many quesadillas as you want to cook.

Serve with more BBQ sauce, or some sour cream/guacamole usually tastes good too.
