VEGETARIAN SLOPPY JOE

My son had one and halfway through the second sandwich he said, 'There's no meat in this!' and finished eating the sandwich. Serve over rice, potatoes, bread, or any other grain.

This is a combination of many recipes and experimentation. It has gotten the thumbs-up from all who have tried it so far. It can also be made with TVP, ground turkey, or even ground beef instead of tempeh.

HIDDEN VEGGIE SLOPPY JOES



Hidden Veggie Sloppy Joes image

From Cooking Light, Jan 1997. Original calls for 6 oz. ground round and 6 oz turkey breast. I have had really good luck feeding this to toddlers and veggie-phobic adults! Feel free to play with the veggies to your own preference; tonight I made these with 1 c mushroom and 1 c finely diced zucchini squash. I also prefer balsamic or cider vinegar here to the red wine. Finally, this does tend to turn out pretty "saucy", so if you like your joes thicker you might consider adding a bit of tomato paste. Enjoy!

Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 teaspoon olive oil
2 cups mushrooms
1 cup onion
1/2 cup green bell pepper
1/4 cup celery
1/4 cup carrot
2 garlic cloves, minced
12 ounces lean ground turkey
1/4 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
1 (8 ounce) can no-salt-added tomato sauce

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add mushrooms and next 7 ingredients (mushrooms through ground round); saute 5 minutes until meat is browned, stirring to crumble.
  • Stir in ketchup and next 6 ingredients (ketchup through tomato sauce); bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve on toasted hamburger buns.

Tips:

  • Sneak in the Veggies: Finely chopping the vegetables and mixing them well with the meat helps picky eaters get their daily dose of vegetables without even noticing them.
  • Use a Variety of Vegetables: Don't limit yourself to just one or two types of vegetables. Experiment with different combinations to create a more flavorful and nutritious sloppy Joe.
  • Make it a Meal: Serve your sloppy Joes with a side of fresh fruit, a salad, or some roasted vegetables for a complete and balanced meal.
  • Get Creative with Toppings: Don't just stick to the classic toppings like cheese and pickles. Try experimenting with different options like avocado, bacon, or even a fried egg for a unique and delicious twist.
  • Make Ahead and Freeze: Sloppy Joes are a great make-ahead meal. Simply cook a batch and freeze them in individual portions for quick and easy meals throughout the week.

Conclusion:

Hidden veggie sloppy Joes are a delicious and nutritious way to get your family to eat their vegetables. By sneaking in finely chopped vegetables like carrots, celery, and zucchini, you can create a sloppy Joe that is packed with flavor and nutrients without sacrificing taste. Serve them with your favorite toppings and sides for a complete and satisfying meal that the whole family will love.
