Tofu Sloppy Joes image

This has been a long time favourite for our family, even my 2 yr old and 3 yr old love this. We put the leftovers over nachos with some cheese, tomatoes, green peppers and onions. Oooh yummy!

Time 55m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (12 ounce) package firm tofu
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes
chili powder
2 -3 garlic cloves, crushed
ketchup
mustard
oil
diced onion (optional)
diced green pepper (optional)

Steps:

  • Crumble the tofu to small bits (this can take a bit of time).
  • Heat oil in frying pan and add tofu and chili powder (added to taste, I add tons, about 4-5 tbsp).
  • Cook on medium high heat until tofu is crispy.
  • Add garlic and onion and cook 5-7 minutes.
  • Add tomatoes, a dab of ketchup (the more you add the sweeter it will be so omit it if you don't like sweet) and a dab of mustard and a drizzle of extra oil if you like.
  • Let simmer, bubbling until sauce is thickened and tofu is tasty (about 30 minutes).
  • I like to give it a lot of time to simmer so it's really tasty.
  • Serve on whole wheat buns with salad and homemade fries.
  • Enjoy!
