In this recipe, the traditional ground beef of the Sloppy Joe burger is replaced with tofu, which is ground and, like the beef, fried in a tomato sauce with finely chopped vegetables, chili powder, and garlic powder. The filling is then placed on the bottom halves of the buns, topped with a slice of cheese, and toasted in the oven until the cheese melts. The burger is topped with pickles and served with a side of potato balls. This vegetarian Sloppy Joe is so juicy and rich that even meat-eaters won't miss the meat.
