Any one can open a can sloppy joe mix and throw it with a meat substitute and call them sloppy joes, but why not just suck all the fun out of life. I love to make as much as I can from scratch it taste better, its usually cheaper and takes almost the same amount of time plus I can pronounce all the ingredients in them. Last year I found Bob's Red Mill Textured Vegetable Protein and wow this stuff is great for so many different recipes. It takes the place of ground meat and I don't even miss that stuff at all.
TVP Sloppy Joes
1 tbsp canola oil
1 clover garlic chopped
1 onion chopped
1 green pepper chopped
2 cans diced tomatoes
2 cans fire roasted diced tomatoes
3 tbsp Memphis rub or BBQ of your choice
1 tbsp chili powder
1 cup Bob's Red Mill TVP
1 can tomato paste
Heat your oil then add garlic till it starts to brown then add onions and peppers let cook till tender. Add all 4 cans of tomatoes and the the Memphis rub let come to a low simmer, let simmer for 5 min then add the chili powder stir till well combined bring back to simmer. Then stir in the TVP and turn to the lowest heat add cover for 10 min. Uncover and add the tomato paste cover for 5 mins and you can eat on some awesome homemade buns and tater wedges my recipe is here.
