Impossible Sloppy Joes
These vegan Impossible sloppy joes are rich and meaty and a nostalgic, simple dinner idea. Brown the vegan ground beef, add homemade tomato sauce, and serve on soft buns with lots of pickles.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/2 cup finely chopped green peppers
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 12 ounce package Impossible Meat, or other plant-based meat
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 1/3 cup ketchup
- 1 1/2 teaspoon vegan Worcestershire sauce
- 1 1/2 teaspoon yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 4 burger buns
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and green pepper and cook for 8 minutes, stirring often, until vegetables have started to soften.
- Add in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until just fragrant, then add in the impossible meat and cook, breaking up, until just browned and no longer pink.
- Add in the rest of the sauce ingredients: tomato sauce, ketchup, worchesershire sauce, mustard, sugar, salt and pepper. Cook until heated through and combined, about 5 more minutes.
- Serve on buns! We like these sandwiches with coleslaw and my dill pickles on top.
Notes
- Too sweet? Add a pinch of salt or 1/ 2 teaspoon vinegar
- Too Tangy? Add a little more brown sugar or a drizzle of ketchup
- Too Tomatoy? Simmer an extra 5 minutes to concentrate flavors
- Need depth? Add extra Worcestershire.
- Is the sauce too loose? Simmer uncovered 3-5 minutes to thicken
- Is the sauce too thick? Add a splash of water
