Sloppy Joes Vegan Style

We can't believe how tasty Sloppy Joes can be without meat! Tonight we served it over whole wheat rolls with a kale salad. 












Ingredients:
12 oz. pkg. vegan protein.  (I like Trader Joe's Beefless Ground Beef)
15 oz. can red kidney beans, drained
6 oz. can tomato paste
1 cup water
1/2 large onion, diced
1 bell pepper or poblano pepper, diced
1 cup chopped grape tomatoes
2 tbsp. grape seed oil
salt/pepper to taste
*1-2 tsp. chili powder, optional

Instructions:
Saute' onions and peppers in 1 tbsp. oil.  Add 1 more tbsp. oil and add vegan protein to pan.  Saute' until protein is browned.  Add remaining ingredients.  Add extra water if needed.  Serve over whole wheat hamburger buns or rolls.  Serves 6-8.
