The ingredients for Tempeh Sloppy Joes are:

12 oz tempeh, crumbled
1/2 red bell pepper, diced
1/2 onion, diced
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
1 t ground cumin
2 t chili powder
1 T paprika
dash red pepper flakes
8 oz tomato sauce
15 or 16 oz can of diced tomatoes (juice included)
2 T worcestershire sauce

Here is how you make Tempeh Sloppy Joes:

Saute the onions, mushrooms (if you have kids who can spot a mushroom a mile away, pulse them to bits in a food processor - they'll never know what they're eating) and red bell peppers on very low heat. If you cover the pan and sprinkle a touch of salt on, you can do this without oil. You could also saute the veggies in a bit of vegetable broth.Meanwhile, crumble the tempeh in the food processor to a crumbly texture. Add tempeh to pan with vegetables.Add in the dry spices, stir it up, then add in your tomato sauce, tomatoes, brown sugar and worcestershire sauce. Add enough water for desired consistency. Simmer for 10 minutes or so.Serve on toast, buns or over brown rice. My favorite is an open face sandwich on toasted whole wheat, a serving of sloppy joe, topped with cole slaw and pickles.Serving Size: 4 servingsNumber of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user RETROVIX.
