I’ve now made this twice. I couldn’t find chili sauce so used Newman’s Own Medium Pineapple Salsa. Because I’m feeding finicky granddaughters, I only used 1 Tbsp chili powder and also added (not substituted) 1/2 cup bulgur. My husband thought it was fine but the girls complained it was too spicy. I am not fond of spicy either but found it was just fine. In the end, I was the only one who ate the leftovers, which is fine because there is so little I can eat on my heavily restricted diet. Made it again last night and substituted cumin for the chili powder. Tasted it this morning and I can’t wait to have it for lunch! Thank you for this versatile fat free recipe!

I used the store brand at my Stop & Shop but I guess it doesn’t really make a difference unless you wanted it more spicy, etc. 🙂

Thanks for replying… But what chili sauce should I use?

Hi there, if using beans I would say a can or so would suffice. You can also use rice or sometimes I use chunks of sweet potato, too. The chili sauce isn’t hot. The heat would come from the amount of chili powder or other spices that you are using. Hope that helps. ENJOY!

If I were to add extra beans in sub of the crumbles how much would I use? Also, 12 oz of chili sauce sounds really spicy? What chili sauce did you use?—- I can’t wait to make this recipe!

Yummmmm !!!I made this tonight and we loved it. It was so quick and easy and made more than I thought it would. I’ll definitely be making it again.

If you’re using Crumbles or Burgers, you might also want to make sure they don’t contain GMOs. Many, including Boca Burgers, do. Unfortunately.

Like others I was shocked at the amount of sodium in the chili sauce. This recipe as written was too sweet for us. I would reduce the amount of pumpkin pie spice by half. I used lentils and also added green pepper and a second can of beans.

If making it again, I would find a substitute for the chili sauce.

How much lentils to substitute for the crumbles?
