Ingredients

  • 1 (12 ounce) package textured vegetable protein (such as Harvest Crumbles)
  • 1 medium chopped onion
  • 1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple
  • 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
  • 1 -2 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 12 teaspoon dry mustard

Method

  • Put chopped onions in skillet and add 1/3 cup of water to barely cover onions.
  • Cook over medium high heat until water evaporates.
  • This will reduce the sharpness of the onions much as sauteeing will, but without the oil.
  • Meanwhile combine remaining ingredients (except TVP) in bowl.
  • I use 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, but if you want a sharper, less sweet taste go with 1 tablespoon.
  • Add TVP and combined ingredients to skillet with the cooked onions and cook over med heat until sauce is reduced to a thickness (sloppy) that you like.
  • Serve with whole grain buns, sliced cheese, sliced tomato and your favorite condiments.
  • Excellent served with oven roasted potato wedges, ranch beans, and cole slaw.
  • Enjoy!
