Vloppy Joes

That's right. Vloppy Joes. Vegan sloppy joes. Just as awesome as the meaty sloppy joes and equally as sloppy.

You can even switch it up by using either pinto beans or textured soy protein. I started out using the pinto beans. They turned out great!

What you need:
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 large white onion, chopped
4 celery ribs, chopped
4-6 cloves of garlic, chopped
1 cup tomato sauce
2 Tbps. tomato paste
1/2 C. ketchup
3 tsp. Tabasco sauce
1 tsp vegan worcestershire sauce
1 C. pinto beans or textured soy protein

What you do:
Heat the oil in a large skillet, and saute the onion and celery until soft. Toss in the garlic. Cook a few minutes longer.

Add the tomato sauce, tomato paste, ketchup, tobasco and worcestershire. Cook until it bubbles, then turn to low and let cook for about 10-15 minutes. Mix in the pinto beans, or textured soy protein and cook for approximately 5 minutes.

Serve on a whole wheat burger bun and enjoy!
