Sloppy Bulgur Sandwiches Recipes

KOREAN BBQ SLOPPY JOES

Steps:

• Heat the vegetable oil (1 tablespoon) in a large skillet. Add the white and light green parts of the green onions, as well as the diced red bell pepper. Sauté until softened and starting to brown.
• Add the ground beef (1 pound.) to the skillet and cook/brown completely, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon as you go.
• Add the Korean BBQ sauce (1/2 cup) to the skillet. Stir together and bring to a simmer on low, simmering for 5 minutes or so uncovered until sauce has thickened. Stir in the dark green onions parts.
• Divide the beef mixture into the hamburger buns (4), garnish with more dark green onion parts if you have them, and sprinkle with sesame seeds if using. Serve.

VEGETARIAN SLOPPY JOES

Steps:

• Heat oil in a deep, 10-inch skillet over medium-low heat. Cook the onion in the oil until translucent. Crumble the tempeh into the skillet; cook and stir until golden brown. Add the green pepper and garlic; cook another 2 to 3 minutes.
• Stir in the tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, honey, molasses, cayenne pepper, celery seed, cumin, salt, coriander, thyme, oregano, paprika, and black pepper; stir. Simmer another 10 to 15 minutes. Spoon hot onto hamburger buns to serve.
