What You Should Know

Abbot's Butcher Entree Savory Ground Beef Crafted Pea Tray In Box is a refrigerated plant-based "ground beef" alternative presented in a 10 oz tray boxed for grab-and-go convenience. You'd typically find it in the chilled meat-alternative bay or near refrigerated tofu, tempeh and vegan burgers — often shelved adjacent to prepared meal kits and chilled marinades that appeal to weeknight cooks. It reads like a modern pantry hybrid: a butcher-inspired name that borrows artisanal cues while clearly aiming at flexitarians and eco-minded shoppers who want familiar textures without animal meat. Label language leans into a natural, crafted positioning — ingredients like extra virgin olive oil, porcini mushroom and balsamic vinegar create a wholesome impression, and a clear allergen note about peas signals transparency; there is no organic seal and no overt kid-targeted graphics. In plain terms this is a processed plant-protein product: pea protein is concentrated and formed to mimic ground beef. Sensory expectations are a moist, crumbled, slightly springy texture with savory, umami notes from porcini and tomato paste; black pepper, garlic and thyme give it warmed-herb aromatics. The small tray fits quick rituals — searing in a skillet for tacos, folding into pasta sauce, or stirring into a grain bowl — and the box is meant for single-family meal planning. Nutrition cues are mixed: modest calories but relatively high sodium for the portion size, so it fits a convenience-first dinner routine more than a low-sodium therapeutic diet. Culturally it sits at the intersection of comfort-cooking and plant-forward experimentation.
