I’m sorry I’ve been AWOL for the past few days. I’ve been exhausted and had ZERO writing bug. Every time I thought about writing, I was like Nah!
So today I’m back with the writing.
On Thursday, I shared with you my favorite meat substitutes. Today I’m going to share one of the ways I use the meat substitute.
One of our favorite meals is sloppy Joes. So instead of eating Sloppy Joes with ground beef, I make mine with the meat substitute.
What you need:
- 1 batch of the meat substitute
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1/2 bell pepper
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 yellow onion
- 1 sm. can of tomato paste (6 oz)
- 1 sm. can of tomato sauce (8 oz)
- yellow mustard
- apple cider vinegar
- brown sugar
- chili powder
- salt and pepper
