I prefer Impossible Burger as a substitute for grounds, but Beyond Meat also makes things like hot dogs and breakfast sausage, which Impossible doesn't.

YES, Beyond has some incredible sausage products! I go with them for sausage and Impossible for burgers.

Trader Joe's tofu based chorizo is also in this space and is amazing as well. If you want something that makes for good "grounds" but don't need it to literally be hamburger then a marinated block of tofu will probably get you there.

Yeah, I've had that one, and it's good. Unfortunately, it's harder to come by because Trader Joe's doesn't allow delivery and doesn't sell their store-brand products anywhere else; I've stopped relying on anything from Trader Joe's store brand for that reason. It also has a specific flavor profile that works in some dishes but not others; it isn't a neutral substitute for grounds.

Those sausages are definitely better than the burger patty to me. I just wish Impossible would get more products out since their burger patty is the first uncanny valley leaping veggie meat I've had.

Impossible makes breakfast sausage. Starbucks has an Impossible breakfast sandwich.

That's great to hear, but they don't appear to sell it publicly yet. It appears to be restaurant-exclusive.
