This was one of my favorite tempeh recipes for a long time, and I am surprised it is not already posted here! It comes from the May 1998 edition of Cooking Light, and it is just perfect when you want a warm comfort food-ish yet vegetarian meal! I recommend cutting the veggies very small to get the most authentic "sloppy joe" texture.

I'm going to try making these sloppy joes with ground turkey instead of beef. I think it will be a healthier option.

These sloppy joes are a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I always have zucchini and corn on hand, so this is a perfect recipe for me.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my sloppy joes were really dry. I think I might have added too much bread crumbs.

These sloppy joes were a little too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them.

I'm not a big fan of sloppy joes, but these were actually really good. The sauce was flavorful and the vegetables added a nice texture.

I've made these sloppy joes twice now and they're always a crowd-pleaser. The sauce is perfectly seasoned and the vegetables add a nice touch of crunch.
