I made this without the tofu, and I used white sugar instead of brown because I didn't have any, and it turned out great. The onions are really great in it. I just put all the ingredients into a bowl and microwaved it for 30 seconds and put it on my sandwich. It was delicious!

I baked some chicken breasts today to freeze for future use. I remembered that I had filed this recipe yesterday in my cookbook for Condiments & Sauces. Whipped it up in a flash today and added diced chickden. Rolled it in a tortilla. This made a VERY quick lunch, and it's VERY tasty. I'm going to make up a batch of this to freeze in ice trays, then store in the freezer. You can't beat this for ease and taste....not to mention versatility. Thanks! -
Wow this was fabulous. I had never had a sloppy joe before and can't belive what I was missing. My husband who is a huge sloppy joe fan "LOVED" this! I used ground beef instead of tofu, minced onion in place of fresh and regular sugar instead of brown! Thank you for adding a staple dinner to my home menu!

So delicious and quick! I actually made it with 4oz of extra lean ground beef, and it worked wonderfully. Manwich who? Never again! -
Hi There, I just wanted to point out that Worcestireshire sauce is NOT vegan, it is made with anchovies. I know of course that there are lots of people who will make this who are not vegan, 'cause it sounds flippin delish anyhow, and I think I will make it for dinner, but for those who are vegan such as myself, I wanted to point that out. There is a vegan w. sauce available, and you can probably pick it up at your local health food store. Cheers!

I'm a health-conscious vegan with a serious sweet tooth. A lot of my first recipes on here weren't vegan, but they're family favorites that can be easily adapted. I'm broadening my horizons and learning how to a) cook easy but tasty food, and b) be patient and cook more time consuming dishes.
I'm passionate about mathematics, yoga, tasty food, dancing, the love of my life (also known as Tim), and our cat Moo. I work in the math department of a small liberal arts college for now. I hope to get my PhD in pure math (not sure exactly which field yet).
I'll try anything once (as long as it doesn't involve eating anything from anything with orifices). My favorite comfort food cookbooks are How it All Vegan and Vegan Vittles, which adapt a lot of familiar dishes into animal-friendly alternatives.
I can usually be found curled up working on a proof or a good book.
My biggest pet peeve is too much sugar in prepared food!
