It comes from the May 1998 edition of Cooking Light, and it is just perfect when you want a warm comfort food-ish yet vegetarian meal. I recommend cutting the veggies very small to get the most authentic sloppy joe texture.
Ingredients:
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup diced carrot
1 (8 ounce) package tempeh, crumbled
2 cups canned crushed tomatoes, undrained
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup barbecue sauce (they recommend hot and spicy)
2 teaspoons chili powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
8 whole wheat hamburger buns
Directions:
1. Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
2. Add onion, celery, carrot, and tempeh, and sauté 5 minutes.
3. Stir in tomatoes and next 6 ingredients (tomatoes through salt). Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Uncover and cook an additional 3 minutes or until mixture is slightly thick. Serve on hamburger buns.
