Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1/2 large onion, minced
  • 16 ounces packaged tempeh
  • 1 green bell pepper, minced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce
  • 1 Tbsp vegan Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 Tbsp honey
  • 1 Tbsp blackstrap molasses
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)

Directions

  1. Heat a large pan over medium heat, add oil and onion cooking until translucent, about 4-5 minutes.

  3. Once tempeh is golden, add the pepper and garlic, cooking another 2-3 minutes.

  5. Spoon hot Sloppy Joe mixture onto the lightly toasted hamburger buns and serve.
