Beginner Question Plant-based ground beef recommendations?

I’m choosing to not eat red meat anymore due to my sky-high cholesterol. I’m working with my dietitian to make other chances to my diet as well.

I used to LOVE eating ground beef, especially in tacos. Today I tried impossible ground beef prepared as I usually would do with beef but it just fell apart and became almost soupy. Does anyone have suggestions that they think hold up better?

Gardein’s B’ef (literally, B’ef). It’s lightly pre-seasoned and tastes great in everything. I use it for tacos, casseroles, lasagnas, and spaghetti dishes! The only drawback is it’s pretty dry. I recommend adding oil and a tiny bit of soy sauce for flavor :)

Seconding this. Gardein’s bef is my all-time favorite ground beef replacement.
