Vegetarian Sloppy Joes with Honey Wheat Buns

Substituting mushrooms for ground beef keeps this dish meaty, and the ton of vegetables will make you full!

  • 1 Package of Sliced Mushrooms
  • 1 Onion
  • 1/2 Green Pepper
  • 1/2 Red Pepper
  • 1 Can Tomato Paste
  • 3 Cloves of Garlic
  • 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 Teaspoon Olive Oil
  • 1/2 Juice from Lime
  • 1 Packet Sloppy Joe Seasoning
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat.  Roughly chop vegetables and add to oil until lightly browned.  Stir in seasonings and the remaining ingredients.  Simmer until mixture thickens.  Fill buns (see honey wheat bun recipe below) with sloppy joe mix, top with cheese, garnish with pickles, and serve with your favorite salad.

Honey Wheat Buns
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 1/4 Cups Milk
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1/4 Cup Honey
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
  • 2 1/2 Cups White Flour
  • 2 Cups Wheat Flour
  • 1 1/4 Teaspoons Yeast
Warm milk in microwave, then add honey and stir well.  Place one tablespoon of white flour in the mixture, then add yeast.  Let the sponge sit for 10-15 minutes until foamy.  Add the remaining ingredients except for one egg.  Cover and let rise for 45 minutes.  Roll out dough and punch with round cookie cutter or top of glass.  Place on greased baking sheet and let rise for another 20 minutes.  Set oven to 375.  Separate egg and brush the tops of the buns with only the white.  Bake for about 13-15 minutes.
