Mouthwatering TVP Sloppy Joes
These completely vegan sloppy joes are enough to make even a meat eater's mouth water, and they come together in less than an hour! Tangy, meaty, and the perfect plant-based weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 cup textured vegetable protein (I used Bob's Red Mill)
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- small white onion
- small green pepper
- 1 tbsp oil (I used olive oil)
Sloppy Joe Sauce
- 2.5 tbsp dijon mustard
- 1.5 cups tomato ketchup
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- 1.5 tbsp minced garlic
To Serve
- 4 buns of choice
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the textured vegetable protein and the vegetable broth. Allow to rehydrate for 15 minutes.
- In the meantime, chop the onion and pepper. In a separate small bowl, combine the ingredients for the Sloppy Joe Sauce and set aside for now.
- Heat a medium saute pan over medium heat. Add the oil, then add the chopped onion and pepper. Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until slightly soft.
- Add the tvp mixture to the onion/pepper and stir. Heat, stirring semi-often, for 15 minutes, to cook through and slightly brown.
- Stir in the Sloppy Joe Sauce and allow to simmer for 1-2 minutes, stirring once or twice, until heated throughout.
- Spoon sloppy joe mix evenly into four buns. Serve, and enjoy!
