Sloppy Joes with Homemade buns

Have masses to feed? Ok so I don't really the masses to feed, but I do feed 2 growing boys and a husband! I made homemade buns for our sloppy joe recipe. I was told last night that "This is the best meal you have ever made mom!" by my oldest. So not only hubby approved but kid(s) approved. These can be made veg'n (as I am veg'n), rather than using ground meat use tempeh or Veggie crumbles (I prefer Quorn crumbles).

Sloppy Joes

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground meat (turkey, beef or if veg'n use crumble or tempeh)
• 1 tablespoons mustard
• 1 can of tomato paste
• 12 ounces of water (use the tomato paste can, fill it twice)
• Choice of herbs (I used onion powder, garlic powder, parsely and oregano)
• Pinch of sugar
• salt & pepper to taste
• Cheese of choice

Directions

• In a large pan, fry meat with spices you like (if using tempeh or crumbles add a smidge of oil to keep it from burning cook per instructions on package).
• Once meat is cooked and drained (no need to drain if using tempeh or crumbles) add the mustard, tomato paste, water, choice of herbs (yes I lightly season the meat then add more herbs for the sauce), pinch of sugar, salt & pepper.
• Lower heat and simmer for about 8-10 minutes.
• Scoop onto buns and add cheese of choice.
• Enjoy!
