Sloppy Joe, sloppy, sloppy Joe

 
 Oh.... these were sloppy and oh so yummy!

(Tasted just like a 'Joe' I used to have. Texture was great, but different, obviously. All 6 tasted testers gave it 2 thumbs up! )

*quick disclaimer: while the ketchup I used was 'vegan', it isn't exactly whole foods.

Recipe:

• 2 cans black beans, rinsed
• 1/2 C cooked brown rice
• 1/2 onion, chopped
• 1/2 green pepper, chopped
• 1/4 C. diced tomatoes
• 1/4 C tomato sauce
• 3/4 C ketchup
• 1 TBSP brown mustard
• 1/2 TBSP minced garlic
• 1/4 tsp chili powder
• TBSP vinegar
• squirt of agave nectar
• salt and pepper to taste

Saute' onion, green pepper and minced garlic for about 5 minutes over medium heat. Add all other ingredients. Simmer for about 15 minutes. Turn off stove and let sit with lid for about 10 minutes. Slop the goodness on a whole wheat bun and devour it!

Enjoy!
