I guess this could go in a seasonal thread, as fall/winter is generally the time I make it the most. I give you:

*Note: I haven't been able to find the Loma Linda Vegeburger everywhere, so I improvise with those veggie tubes of 'burger'. I cut one up like sausage patties, fry it up in a pan with a little butter, wait until the tops and bottoms are a bit brown and then add some water and ground pepper into the pan. I then chop up the patties in to pieces with a plastic spatula while the water is boiling down. When the water is boiled off and the mixture is still moist I'll throw it into the mix.

(!) Even if you don't like ketchup, it's mandatory for this recipe.

Best served with garlic mashed potatoes and steamed brussels sprouts.
Holy Yum. If I wasn't cooking a full blown Thanksgiving this week I'd make it tomorrow.
