Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tempeh

    Crumble the tempeh into small pieces using your hands or a fork.

  2. 2

    Cook the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the crumbled tempeh, black beans, BBQ sauce, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine.

  4. 4

    Simmer

    Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through.

  5. 5

    Toast the Buns

    While the mixture simmers, toast the hamburger buns until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Sloppy Moes

    Spoon the tempeh and black bean mixture onto the bottom half of each toasted bun. Top with sliced pickles and place the top half of the bun on.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve your Sloppy Moes warm with extra BBQ sauce if desired.
