  5. 1 14-ounce package extra-firm tofu, drained

  1. Preheat the oven and bake the Tater Tots as the label directs. Toss with 1/2 teaspoon chili powder and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder; season with salt and pepper.
  2. Meanwhile, crumble the tofu on a paper towel-lined plate. Mix the ketchup and chili sauce in a bowl. Set aside.
  3. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, celery, carrot and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, 3 minutes. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon chili powder and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder. Cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add the tofu, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring, 3 minutes. Add 3/4 cup of the ketchup sauce and 1/3 cup water; simmer until thickened, 2 minutes.

Super tasty! A winner for sure with this vegetarian family.

I am a vegetarian, but I am not a big fan of tofu, so I substituted the tofu with the ground Impossible Beef. It was incredible!!

These are honestly better than regular sloppy Joe’s in my opinion. They are spicy, and healthy, and quick to make!
Mackenzie Watkins
