Ingredients:

  • 1 tbsp vegan butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 10oz package of baby portobello mushrooms, diced
  • 1/3 green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 jalapeño, diced (omit if you don’t like spice)
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 2/3 cup ketchup
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar (optional, omit if using molasses)
  • 1 tbsp molasses (optional, omit if using brown sugar)
  • 1 tbsp mustard
  • 3/4 chili powder
  • 2-3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Note: Feel free to adjust the ingredients according to your taste preferences.

Instructions:

  1. Start by making the sauce. In a bowl, whisk together ketchup, molasses (or brown sugar), mustard, chili powder, soy sauce, and black pepper. Adjust the sauce to your liking by adding more or less of each ingredient. Set the sauce aside.
  2. Heat vegan butter and olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
  3. Add the diced green bell pepper and jalapeño to the pan. Sauté until they begin to soften.
  4. Stir in the minced garlic, followed by the diced mushrooms. Cook until the mushrooms are soft and most of the moisture has evaporated. Be careful not to cook it for too long, as we don’t want the mixture to dry out.
  5. Gradually add the sauce to the pan, stirring well to coat the mushroom mixture. Add it a little at a time to avoid overdoing it. If you’re using a pound of mushrooms instead of the 10oz package, the entire sauce mixture will work perfectly.
  6. Continue cooking until the sauce thickens and coats the mushrooms evenly.
  7. While the mushrooms are cooking, lightly toast your burger buns in a clean pan with some vegan butter over low heat. This step adds an extra layer of deliciousness to your sloppy joes.
  8. Once everything is ready, scoop the mushroom mixture onto the toasted buns. Don’t be shy, pack it on there!
  9. Enjoy your homemade vegan mushroom sloppy joes!
