Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 16 ounce Impossible ground meat
• 1 yellow onion (finely diced)
• 1 green bell pepper (finely diced)
• 1 can tomato sauce
• 2 tablespoon tomato paste
• 0.25 cup apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt and black pepper
• 4 whole wheat hamburger buns
• 4 cup mixed greens (for side salad)
• 2 tablespoon Italian dressing (for side salad)

Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the Impossible ground meat and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, for 5-7 minutes until browned. Drain any excess liquid.
2. Add the diced yellow onion and green bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
3. Stir in the tomato sauce, tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Season with salt and black pepper.
4. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
5. While the sloppy joe mixture simmers, lightly toast the whole wheat hamburger buns, if desired.
6. Divide the mixed greens between two plates and drizzle with Italian dressing for a simple side salad.
7. Spoon the Impossible Sloppy Joe mixture onto the whole wheat buns and serve immediately with the side salad.
