THE BEST SLOPPY JOES
This is weeknight comfort food at its finest. We created a homemade sauce that is tangy and flavorful but also quick and easy. We used both ketchup and canned tomato sauce for lots of tomato-y zip and just a touch of brown sugar for a bit of sweetness and slight caramel finish. Green bell pepper is a key addition; it really enhances the other ingredients, elevating the flavor profile into the realm of a true sloppy joe.

Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the beef and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon or spatula, until it is browned, no longer pink in the middle and cooked through, 7 to 8 minutes.
- Stir in the tomato sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, red wine vinegar, paprika, cayenne pepper, 1 teaspoon salt and a generous amount of black pepper and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened and heated through, 5 to 6 minutes.

VEGETARIAN SLOPPY JOES
This is a combination of many recipes and experimentation. It has gotten the thumbs-up from all who have tried it so far. It can also be made with TVP, ground turkey, or even ground beef instead of tempeh.

Tips:
- To make the tempeh sloppy joes extra flavorful, marinate the tempeh in the sauce for at least 30 minutes before cooking. - If you don't have time to marinate the tempeh, you can still make the sloppy joes by cooking the tempeh in the sauce for a longer period of time. - For a smoky flavor, cook the tempeh in a skillet over medium heat until it is slightly charred. - Serve the sloppy joes on hamburger buns, with your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles. - For a healthier version, use whole-wheat hamburger buns and top the sloppy joes with a side of grilled vegetables.Conclusion:
Saucy tempeh sloppy joes are a delicious and easy-to-make vegan meal that is sure to please everyone at the table. They are packed with flavor and nutrients. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give these sloppy joes a try!
