sandwiches | We updated an old classic so that it's lower in calories and higher in nutritional value. Who knew a vegetarian sloppy joe could taste so good?

4 oz tempeh, chopped
1 sprays olive oil cooking spray, or enough to coat skillet
1/2 medium onion(s), minced
1 cup canned tomato sauce
1/8 tsp table salt, or to taste
1/8 tsp black pepper, or to taste
4 medium mixed-grain hamburger roll(s), toasted

Instructions


1. Steam tempeh until softened, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and mash well with a fork; set aside.
2. Coat a nonstick skillet with olive oil-flavored cooking spray and set over medium-low heat; add onion and sauté until very tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomato sauce and tempeh, and simmer 2 to 3 minutes; season to taste with salt and pepper. Top bottom of each bun with about 1/2 cup of tempeh mixture. Cover with tops and serve.
