Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 medium onion -- finely chopped

(3/4 cup)

1/2 medium green or red bell pepper -- finely diced

(1/2 cup)

12 ounces soy crumbles -- up to 16-oz.

16 ounces canned or jar natural pizza sauce

Burger buns

(preferably whole-grain)

 

6 servings Dairy-free

 

This is a very child- and teen-friendly recipe, though anyone who is a

child at heart will enjoy it. Texturized soy crumbles aim to imitate

ground beef, but it's not so much the flavor as the texture that does the

trick. Find this product marketed under the Green Giant or Morningstar

Farms brand name in the frozen foods section of large supermarkets, shelved

near other soy-based meat analogs.

 

Meal plan: Before beginning the sloppy joes, put up a big pot of water to

boil for cooking corn on the cob. Serve a green spring vegetable like

steamed asparagus or snap peas as well. Add a simple tossed salad to round

out the meal.

 

In large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring

occasionally, until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add bell pepper and cook

until onion is golden and pepper begins to soften, stirring often, about 5

minutes. Add soy crumbles and increase heat to medium-high. Cook,

stirring often, until thoroughly heated, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in pizza

sauce and cook, stirring occasionally, until hot and flavors are blended,

about 3 minutes. Serve sloppy joe mixture hot on buns, open-faced or as a

closed sandwich.
