Insanely Easy Sloppy Joes
Category: Main Dishes - Other
Suitable for a: vegan diet
Ingredients:
------------------------------------------------------
1 cup TVP,
reconstitute in 2 cups VERY hot water with 3 Tb. ketchup added
2/3 cup barbeque sauce
1 1/2 cups tomato sauce (1 can)
2 Tbsp. tomato paste
Tabasco or ketchup to taste
OPTIONAL VEGGIES:
(use all or none or whatever you like)
1 green bell pepper, chopped fine
2 stalks celery chopped fine
1 onion chopped fine
1 small carrot shredded
Instructions:
------------------------------------------------------
If you want veggies in your sloppy joes: While TVP is reconstituting, sautee all finely chopped veggies in a small amount of oil in a large skillet, until veggies are soft.
After TVP has reconstituted, add to skillet with BBQ sauce and tomato sauce. (If there is a great deal of liquid left in the TVP, drain some off - there should be maybe a 1/2 cup or so remaining)
Cook over Med.-High until starting to thicken - 5-10 min. or so.
Adjust seasoning to your personal preference with ketchup, tabasco or more BBQ sauce. Serve on toasted buns.
Additional comments:
------------------------------------------------------
This recipe can be finished in 15 minutes or less. Sometimes I can find finely chopped veggies in my supermarket or salad bar, sometimes I leave them out and it's still good.
It's ALSO good with Boca burger crumbles, but considerably more expensive. TVP is cheap.
