My son had one and halfway through the second sandwich he said, 'There's no meat in this!' and finished eating the sandwich. Serve over rice, potatoes, bread, or any other grain.

TVP VEGAN SLOPPY JOES
This is the recipe from "The New Farm Vegetarian Cookbook". SO EASY!!! My kids have always loved this, they are 15 and 11. Originally it called for 3TBS oil, I use 2, but I'm sure you could use less. A little indulgence doesn't hurt. I use olive oil because I LOVE it.

VEGAN SLOPPY JOES
Wonderfully sweet and tangy Sloppy Joes that I grew up with, but veganized! You won't find any bell peppers here. This is far more wholesome than most Sloppy Joe recipes. The spices can be easily adjusted. These are also great with sweet potato fries! Try this for a quick and economical weeknight meal.
