Somehow Alexis never learned how to make Sloppy Joes. The topic came up when she asked for them for dinner, so I drudged up the recipe and put her in charge.
She done good. Vegetarian Sloppy Joes are super easy to make and come together very quickly. Sometimes we have them with fancy cheese and fries, other times with chips, no matter what it's an easy lunch or dinner.
And now Alexis can make them herself. YAY!
Vegetarian Sloppy Joes (Or Meatatarian, if you like. Just swap in ground beef instead of veggie stuff.)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small red pepper, chopped
1 small yellow onion, chopped
1 bag Morningstar Recipe Crumbles
1 cup ketchup
1 cup barbecue sauce
Salt and pepper to taste
Buns
1. Throw the olive oil and red pepper in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook until the red pepper just barely starts to soften.
2. Throw in the onion. Cook until the onion starts to turn clear.
3. It's the Morningstar Recipe Crumbles' turn to join the party. Beware, those buggers tend to stick to even non-stick pans, so be sure you stir often. Cook them until the Crumbles are warmed all the way through. They're pre-cooked, so it really is just a reheating game.
4. Toss in the ketchup, barbecue sauce, salt, and pepper. Heat thoroughly.
5. Really, that's it.
