TOFU SLOPPY JOES
My veggie version of an American favorite made with tofu. My boyfriend who recently turned vegetarian loved them and said the sauce was even better than store-bought. Hope you enjoy these tofu Sloppy Joes as much as we did! This recipe yields a lot of Sloppy Joe mix and is even better the next day. I serve these with a side of fresh corn on the cob and a salad.

Steps:
- Crumble the tofu to small bits (this can take a bit of time).
- Heat oil in frying pan and add tofu and chili powder (added to taste, I add tons, about 4-5 tbsp).
- Cook on medium high heat until tofu is crispy.
- Add garlic and onion and cook 5-7 minutes.
- Add tomatoes, a dab of ketchup (the more you add the sweeter it will be so omit it if you don't like sweet) and a dab of mustard and a drizzle of extra oil if you like.
- Let simmer, bubbling until sauce is thickened and tofu is tasty (about 30 minutes).
- I like to give it a lot of time to simmer so it's really tasty.
- Serve on whole wheat buns with salad and homemade fries.
- Enjoy!
Tips:
- Press the tofu: This helps remove excess moisture and results in a firmer texture that holds up better in the sloppy joes.
- Use a variety of seasonings: This gives the sloppy joes a complex flavor. Some good options include garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and cumin.
- Cook the sloppy joes until the sauce has thickened: This ensures that the sloppy joes are not too watery.
- Serve the sloppy joes on your favorite buns: Hamburger buns, hoagie rolls, and slider buns are all good options.
- Top the sloppy joes with your favorite toppings: Some good options include cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles.
Conclusion:
Tofu sloppy joes are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are a great way to use up leftover tofu, and they can also be made ahead of time and reheated later. Serve them on your favorite buns with your favorite toppings, and you have a meal that is sure to please everyone.
