I loved this! I did find the dressing too runny (due to the vegan mayo) so I added about 1T of vegan sour cream which thickened it up nicely. We had the leftovers on baked potatoes instead of in a sandwich and it was absolutely delightful. I will certainly make this recipe again. . . soon! That tempeh is so freaking good!!! UPDATE: I made this recipe again today and served the sandwiches open (broiling for a minute to melt the cheese on top. I found it to be a bit salty this time, so next time I will use 1/2 the Braggs and see if that tames it down. And this time for the dressing I added extra relish and a bunch of horseradish for a kick.

I WILL NOT say they are Vegetarian or Vegan any longer due to the database changes. I DO NOT WISH YOU TO RECOMMEND THEM. Consider them as faulty. It's your own fault if you trust them. Don't bother to review.
Don't ask me a question. I won't answer. I'm not here anymore.
I will NOT warrent any recipe on this site put up by me as correct due to Scripps problems. IF they claim to have fixed it, I still do not warrent any recipe as correct except the ones that I put up personally on the tripod site so use any recipe posted under my name at your own risk. Basic? Lots of luck.
Now the ones at chef.philocrates.tripod.com [see De Gustibus Veg*n in link on top], yeah, I will take responsiblity for all of them and the ingredients. I put them up and any errors are all mine.
No the door didn't hit me on the ### but the skid marks in the parking lot are mine.
