Notes

  • Nutritious information is calculated for one serving (including a bun).
  • ñ
  • To make the recipe even quicker, use a grinder to grind tempeh instead of crumbling it with your fingers.
  • If there are any leftovers, they will keep well in the fridge for up to three days.
  • Freeze this vegan sloppy joe filling for up to three months in your freezer. 
  • Perfect for batch cooking. Make a larger batch and freeze what you don’t eat for an even quicker meal in the future. 
  • To reheat, microwave or warm slowly on the stove. All you need to do is add a little water to restore the consistency.
  • For more creative recipe ideas check these 20 best tempeh recipes. 
  • Instead of eating vegetarian sloppy joes two days in a row, throw the filling in my favorite slow cooker vegan chili recipe.
  • Cut down on jalapeño to make your sloppy joes less spicy.
  • Use whole grain, gluten-free hamburger buns, ciabatta rolls or sliced bread as an alternative to normal buns.
  • You can skip sliced raw onions if they taste too overpowering to you.
