Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 green pepper, diced
  • 1-2 cloves garlic
  • 1 1/2 cups TVP textured vegetable protein or use a vegan ground beef alternative like a package of 12 - 16 ounces of Beyond or Impossible Burger
  • 1 cup water or vegetable broth OMIT water or veggie broth if not using TVP
  • 1 can - (8 ounces) tomato sauce
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon worcheshire sauce like Annie's (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 6 hamburger buns or rolls

Method
 

  1. Heat a skillet and add a bit of cooking oil.
  2. When hot, add onions and green pepper.
  3. Cook until peppers are soft and onions are translucent.
  4. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds more.
  5. (If using Beyond Meat or Gardein beef crumbles instead of TVP, add them now to lightly brown.)
  6. Add the TVP (if using) and the rest of the ingredients and mix well. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover with a lid, and cook for 20 minutes. (Reduce cooking time to about 10 minutes if using meat alternatives instead of TVP and water).
  7. Remove the lid and cook and stir for a couple minutes.
  8. Serve on toasted buns.

Notes

The Impossible and Beyond Burgers are great alternatives for ground meat or in place of the TVP in this recipe.
