Instructions
- Flavor Base: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and pepper, cooking until onion is a bit soft and translucent, about 3 minutes.
- Sauce: Stir in all ingredients except TVP. Bring to a gentle simmer, then add TVP.
- Cook: Cover and cook for 15 minutes, or until mixture is thick and TVP is soft.
- Serve: Spoon vegan sloppy joe mixture onto hamburger buns and serve!
Notes
- Store sloppy joe mixture leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 5 days. Or store in the freezer for up to 3 months. When ready to eat, thaw overnight in the fridge then reheat in the microwave or on the stove.
- Topping Ideas: Feel free to add a slice of cheese (vegan or dairy) or some pickles to your sloppy joe before the top bun.
- Lentil Sloppy Joes: Lentils lend themselves well to the taste and texture of sloppy joes. Feel free to cook some red or green lentils (according to the instructions on the package) and mix a bit into this sloppy joe TVP mixture for added bulk and nutrition!
