How to Make Untidy Josephs Aka Vegetarian Sloppy Joes

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium/large skillet over medium heat.

  3. Add 1 cup soy crumbles and sauté until heated through and browned (about 5 minutes).
  4. Stir in 1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce, 1/2 cup beer (optional, can substitute with vegetable broth), 2 tablespoons vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste), and a few dashes of Tabasco sauce.
  5. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. If the sauce is too thick, add more tomato sauce and/or beer (or broth) to reach your desired consistency.
