YES quinoa in your sloppy joe… thank me later! 😉 😉 😉
You are going to LOVE how much this tastes like a “real” (if that’s what you want to call it)… sloppy joe!
These Easy Vegan Quinoa Sloppy Joes take less than an to make and even faster if you prep the quiona in advance, then you are looking at like 20-30 minutes or less! SUPA EASY! You won’t believe how simple!
So have you ever tried to use the fake vegan meat for your sloppy joes? And you feel just gross after because like really? What’s in that stuff… yeah it tasted like a sloppy joe but if you are like me, you probably feel like you just ate fast food after eating it! HA!
So today we are using Quinoa as our “meat” and you will not even miss a thing!
If you want this to be super simple, prepare the quinoa the night before (or even 2 nights before) so that it is ready to go!
The breakdown goes like this:
Prep the quinoa plain…
Get a Skillet, add tomato sauce, onion, seasoning and a tiny bit olive oil… (peppers and garlic if desired) let it come to a simmer, add the cooked quinoa and let it get warm and you are DONE!
Could it be any more simple?
it's messy, it's sloppy...it's just like it should be! 😉
p.s. the recipe calls for southwest chipotle seasoning, the brand I use is Market Pantry Salt Free Southwest Chipotle (I think that is Target's brand...? correct me if I'm wrong?) it really really reallyyyyy needs that stuff because it gives a nice smoky sloppy joe flavor! 😉 if you can't find the same brand use something similar.
For the buns use whatever you like, I used sprouted grain buns but use your favorite!
Even a GF slice of bread would be amazing!

This looks so good! My husband is always asking me to create a healthy sloppy joes recipe. I love the idea of using quinoa as a replacement for the meat. Yummy 😀
