Walnut Meat Vegan Sloppy Joes Recipes

YOU WON'T BELIEVE THEY'RE MEATLESS SLOPPY JOES

Steps:

• make the 'meat': Pulse the mushrooms and walnuts in a food processor in batches until it breaks down into a ground beef texture.
• cook: heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the onions, bell pepper and minced garlic, and let cook for 5 minutes or until the veggies soften. Add the prepared mushroom mix to the skillet, stir so everything is well combined and let cook for 5 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients: ketchup, brown sugar, dry mustard, cayenne, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and apple cider vinegar. Stir everything together and let simmer for 5 minutes. Adjust with additional salt to taste.
• assemble: Serve the prepared sloppy joe mix on top of toasted buns. Best when served the day it's prepared. I find the sloppy joes mixture looses that texture on day two.

VEGAN SLOPPY JOES

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Once it is melted, add the onions, peppers, and garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until the onions are translucent and fragrant. Add the vegan beef crumbles, and sauté for another minute, until they are defrosted. Note: The cooking time on the vegan beef will vary depending on the brand you use.
• Add the remaining ingredients, mixing to incorporate. Turn the heat to low and simmer until all the liquid has evaporated and you have a thick meat sauce. Taste and adjust seasonings.
• Add 3/4-1 cup of filling to the bottom of a toasted bun. Top with top bun and serve immediately.
