I do not recall who posted this recipe, but we use it all the time.
Instead of straight TVP, we substitute the bulk Nature Burger mix (we
mix it with a little water to give it more texture, kinda crumbly, not
to burger stage yet.) I also increase the chili powder to about
2 *tablespoons* versus teaspoons. It keep really well for a long
time...
Thanks to the original poster, this has become one of our staples.
