Spicy Sloppy Joes

 

Ingredients:

 

3 tbs. canola oil

4 large cloves of garlic, minced

1 large green bell pepper, chopped

1 ½ lb soy crumbles

3 tbs. chili powder

1 – 2 jalapeño peppers, seeded and diced

1 bottle of pale ale or brown ale*

¾ c. low sodium soy sauce

1 c. finely chopped green onions

Shredded lettuce

1 small avocado, thinly sliced

6 Wheat Beer or Potato Rolls

 

 

Directions:

 

1. Warm oil in large heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add garlic

and green peppers and sauté, stirring frequently, 5 minutes.

 

2. Stir in soy crumbles and chili powder. Cook 1 – 2 minutes, until

fragrant.

 

3. Add jalapeños, ale, chili sauce and soy sauce, mix well. Reduce

heat to medium-low, simmer, stirring often, about 15 minutes, until

thickened.

 

4. Mix in green onions.

 

5. Mound Sloppy Joe filling on rolls and top with shredded lettuce

and 2 – 3 slices of avocado.

 

 

NOTE: I served this meal to non-vegetarians who did not even realize

until after I told them that it was not meat and they loved it! The

menu was as follows:

 

Spicy Sloppy Joes

Broccoli Slaw

Pickles

Potato Chips (homemade)

Iced Green Tea, Water & Beer

 

This recipe is also a great base for making tacos, burritos or

enchiladas. I hope you enjoy it as much as I and my friends did!

The recipe easily doubles. It is very spicy so if you like less

spice in your life cut back on the chili sauce and only use one

jalapeño.

 

Enjoy!
