Description

Just because you're vegan doesn't mean you can't enjoy a Sloppy Joe sandwich--this meatless version will bring back fond childhood memories while keeping you on a plant-based diet.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon oil
1/2 medium onion, chopped
1 pound vegan meatless grounds (such as Smart Ground® or Yves®)
1 cup ketchup
3 tablespoons brown sugar, or more to taste
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons ground mustard
1 teaspoon dried dill weed, or to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste
4 hamburger buns, split

Directions

1 Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add meatless grounds and break up the clumps with a spoon until crumbly. Cook until browned and heated through, about 5 minutes.
2 Reduce heat to low. Add ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, ground mustard, dill, and pepper. Mix well, cover, and let simmer until heated through, 3 to 4 minutes. Adjust seasonings if necessary.
3 Serve on hamburger buns.
