Vegetarian TVP Sloppy Joes

By Jolinda Hackett, About.com

Vegetarian sloppy joes are perfect for vegetarian or vegan kids! Sloppy joes are fun (and messy!) to eat, and kids love them for lunch, picnics or dinner. This vegetarian sloppy joes recipe is made from TVP (textured vegetable protein) instead of meat and is both vegetarian and vegan.

Ingredients:

  • 2-3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 green or red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 1/2 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 1/2 cups tomato sauce
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • dash hot sauce or tabasco sauce (optional)
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups TVP
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 5-6 hamburger buns

Preparation:

In a large skillet, sautee the onion and peppers in olive oil for 3 to 5 minutes, or until onions are soft.

Reduce heat to medium low and add the remaining ingredients (except buns) and stir well to combine. Allow to simmer for at least 15 more minutes.

Spoon onto hamburger buns and serve hot.
