INGREDIENTS:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion diced
1 carrot diced
2 stalks celery diced
2 pounds ground meat, tempeh, tofu or meat substitute
4 ounces tomato paste
1 jar BBQ sauce (hot or smoky brown)
salt & pepper
hamburger buns
Optional Ingredients
cheese (optional) shredded
Directions
-
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the vegetables and sauté until they become soft, which takes about 10 minutes.
-
Add your choice of protein and use a wooden spoon to break it up as it cooks. Continue cooking until the protein is fully cooked through.
-
Stir in the tomato paste and BBQ sauce, ensuring they are well combined. Heat the mixture through.
-
Season the mixture with salt and pepper according to your taste. If you prefer a sloppier consistency, add 1/4-1/2 cup of water to the mixture.
-
Heat the buns. Spoon the mixture onto the buns and top with grated cheese if desired.
