Beef-Up Your (Veggie) Sloppy Joe’s August 17, 2010

Filed under: Main Dishes — ademyan @ 6:06 PM

I use Morningstar Farms Crumbles to make my version of those delicious Sloppy Joe’s that I had at almost every birthday party growing up.  I always scooped up a big helping out of the slow cooker.  This modern manwich uses veggie crumbles instead of beef, and adds a can of kidney beans for added nutrition.

To make your own, first coat your skillet with about 3 tablespoons of olive oil and “brown” the veggie crumbles.  Then, add a can of drained, rinsed kidney beans (or dry ones you’ve soaked over night). The beans will add some good-for-you fiber, protein, and  iron. Finally top off with your favorite Sloppy Joe Sauce. I use about 8 ounces of sauce since most sauces have a lot of sugar in them.  Serve as a sandwich, on top of sweet potato fries, in a wrap, or with tortilla chips as a delicious dip.
