Vegetarian Sloppy Joe's with homemade hamburger buns!! |
The TVP is rehydrating on the left in the measuring cup. |
1 T oil
1 1/2 lbs TVP meat, ground turkey, or ground beef (I use 1 1/2 C beef TVP and about 2 C hot water to rehydrate, then drain off the water before adding to the recipe)
1/4 C brown sugar
2-2 1/2 T McCormick Steak Seasoning
1 onion chopped
1 T red wine vinegar
1 T Worcestershire sauce
2 C tomato sauce (I use 2 small cans)
2 T tomato paste (I use the small cans and freeze the extra amount for the next use)
Stove Top Method:
Heat a large skillet with the oil and add the meat. (If using TVP rehydrate it in hot water before adding to the skillet, and you don't need to cook it like ground beef, just heat through quickly before adding the remainder of ingredients) Once meat is cooked add the brown sugar and steak seasoning and stir well to incorporate. Add the chopped onion and cook about 5 minutes or until onion is soft. Reduce heat to medium and add the vinegar and reduce briefly. Then add the Worcestershire sauce, tomato sauce, and paste. Stir to combine, reduce to simmer and cook about 5 minutes.
Slow Cooker or Thermal Cooker Method:
I add all the ingredients (TVP has been reconstituted first) into the slow cooker and cook on low for several hours. (I made this for a Jr. High teacher dinner for a few of the vegetarians and it was scraped clean!!)
In the thermal cooker I heated the TVP, added the rest of the ingredients and brought the mixture to a boil for 4 minutes before placing in the cooker. It was still steaming and ready to go 5 hours after I closed the lid!
I heated the TVP after rehydrating and added all the ingredients and put in the thermal cooker. |
