Sloppy Joes

That's right, good ol' Sloppy Joes!  This quick and easy crowd pleaser will satisfy carnivores and vegans alike.  They're extra healthy with whole wheat buns and organic Sloppy Joe seasoning (I like Simply Organic's packet.)  Serve them with slaw, and you've got a fantastic weeknight meal that comes together in a flash.  Look for Yves Veggie Ground Round in the refrigerated section.  You can also try the frozen veggie crumbles, but I am a fan of the former.  Oh, and if you have little ones like me remember they're called "sloppy" for a reason.  Have that bath ready!  ;)

1 Tbsp EVOO
1 package Yves Veggie Ground Round (eq of 1 lb meat)
1 can organic tomato paste
1/4 cup chopped onions
1 packet organic sloppy joe seasoning
1 cup water
4-6 whole wheat buns

Heat oil in a large skillet over med/high heat, add onions and veggie meat, cook until onions are soft (about 5 min).  Mix seasoning with water and add it to skillet.  Add tomato paste.  Simmer 5-10 minutes until desired thickness is reached.  Serve on warmed whole wheat buns.
