SO HOW'D IT GO?
this was so yummy and so easy! i love sloppy joe sauce. i was totally planning on using lentils, but then i found tvp at my grocery store so i got excited and used that instead, and it was really good! forgot to add nooch and spices and it was STILL good. meat-missing hubby liked this, too. next time i will try with the lentils. thanks for the idea! ::)
The taste of this (with some nutritional yeast-y goodness added) bears such a strong resemblance to Cheeseburger Hamburger Helper, it's slightly disturbing. But completely delicious!!! :D
Thanks for helping us satisfy those disgusting pre-veg nostalgia cravings we're all ashamed to admit to. lol
