Meatless Sloppy Joe

Meatless Sloppy Joe
The carnivores in your crew will like the flavor and texture of this imposter. One secret to its meaty texture is finely chopped fresh mushrooms. If you like, cook the fresh vegetables at home up to two days ahead and keep them cold.
12-ounce package fresh mushrooms, finely chopped
Medium green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
Medium onion, finely diced
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
15-ounce can vegetarian refried beans
15-ounce can small white beans, such as navy beans, rinsed and drained
15-ounce can diced tomatoes
6-ounce can tomato paste
2 tablespoons each brown sugar, soy sauce, grainy mustard
Water or broth if needed
Salt, pepper to taste
½ cup sunflower “nuts”
8 to 10 hamburger buns

In a large skillet, sizzle fresh vegetables in hot oil until they are browned. Add refried beans and break them up. Continue stirring over high heat while adding white beans, tomatoes, tomato paste and seasonings. If mixture is too thick, add a little water or broth. Cover, reduce heat and simmer while flavors blend. Adjust seasonings. Just before serving, stir in sunflower nuts. Spoon into buns. Makes 8 to 10 sandwiches.

Another meatless winner - Black Bean Zucchini Quesadilla (4 servings)
- 1 cup chopped or shredded zucchini (about 1 zucchini)
- 1/2 to 1 cup canned/rinsed/drained black beans
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, pepper jack, etc.)
- whole wheat 8" tortillas
- salsa (any type)
- sour cream (lite or regular)
- avocado slices
1) Mix the first 4 items in bowl
2) Sauté for 5 minutes in heated oil (or microwave for a few minutes)
3) Place some mixture on tortilla (don't over-stuff) and sprinkle cheese, fold in half, and place in pan until cheese is melted and the tortilla is toasted (about 3 minutes)
4) Top with salsa, sour cream, avocado, etc.

I bought what we didn't have for the Quesadillas. Sounds good!

Portobello mushrooms might be good in the sloppy joe as they are nice and meaty already

You have plenty of meat at home. Be polite and pass the catsup TCNASHVILLE

Seriously that sounds really good. I want to try some more veggie options in my DO.
