How to prepare

Step 1: COOK THE IMPOSSIBLE BEEF

Over medium-high heat, sear Impossible Beef in a 2-3 quart sauce pot, breaking up the beef and cooking until nicely browned. Turn off the heat, and set aside.

Step 2: MAKE THE SAUCE

You can use 2 cups of your favorite bbq sauce or try making your own for an added challenge! Place coarsely chopped onion, jalapeño, and garlic in a food processor. Pulse until a paste is formed. In a 3-quart pot over medium heat, heat up vegetable oil. Cook onion, jalapeño, and garlic until soft and translucent, about 3 minutes. Whisk in chili powder, dry mustard, and tomato paste, cook for 1 minute. Whisk in other ingredients: ketchup, molasses, pineapple juice, apple cider vinegar, and hot sauce, and bring to simmer. Add in brown sugar. Once simmering, cook for approximately 10 minutes. Whisk in Concord grape jelly and season with salt & pepper.

Step 3: ADD THE SAUCE

Over medium low heat, add approximately 2 cups of the BBQ sauce to the Impossible Beef. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low for serving.

Step 4: SERVE, SHARE, AND ENJOY!

To serve, scoop desired amount of Impossible Sloppy Joe mixture onto a potato bun. Top with fried onions and bread and butter pickles. Add cheese if desired. Serve with a napkin and enjoy!
