Jason didn't like many vegeburgers or garden burgers when we were first trying to go vegetarian. He made up this meaty burger to fit his tastes and now its a family favorite. Has a little bit of a different flavor from most traditional sloppy joes, but we think the taste is outstanding! Use less cayenne pepper or omit it if you're afraid it will be too spicy. It's just enough spice that my kids aren't bothered by it, but I have a few friends that the spice might be too much for them. If you want to make sure the recipe is completely vegan, check the veggie burger cans because many use egg. The vegan veggieburger we use is only found here in the Philippines and I can't remember the brand name of the one we used in the states before.
