I was wondering what the heck beef nuggets were until I read your recipe and realized that it's another name for what we call meat balls over here in my neck of the woods :o :o :o

Sounds delicious. what does the TVP do for it -- texture??

[kiwigal]

yep, tends to take up some of the moisture i think..stops all the cheese from pouring out and tastes yum! We have meatballs too, but i make these in between the size of a burger and a meatball..my kids love them and they're great chopped up in my morning omelette.
