Boca Sloppy Joes





I based this recipe from my grandma's homemade sloppy joes that I LOVE. The only thing different is I used Boca beef instead of regular ground beef.
Here's what I did...

Boca Sloppy Joes

Ingredients:

1 pkg Boca crumbles
1 cup of water
1 bottle of chili sauce
1 tsp of mustard
buns

Cook the Boca crumbles in a skillet over med-high heat in the cup of water (this keeps the "meat" soft instead of crispy). When heated through, add the chili sauce and mustard. Stir together and let cook another few minutes. Serve on a bun.

What's the scoop on health? Boca crumbles have ZERO cholesterol and 0.5grams of fat per serving compared to 10grams of fat per serving in regular ground beef. Also, it's packed full of protein. YAY for Boca! And just as tasty too ;)

Let's Talk Boca...




Boca vegan meatless patties are, so far, the best meatless burger I've tasted. Actually, their chicken patties and nuggets are pretty darn good too. Steve (my meat and cheese man) has always been a HUGE hamburger fan and will make these yummy meatless burgers for himself to eat.
Besides their deliciousness, the best part of these burgers is ZERO cholesterol, less fat, and a ton of protein.

Did you know Red Robin will substitute a Boca patty for ANY of their hamburgers? I just found this out not long ago! So will Rosie's Diner. Chili's doesn't offer Boca patties, but they will subsitute with a black bean patty on any of their hamburgers - which was pretty good.



Now, Boca chicken is pretty yummy... but meatless chicken by Gardein is BY FAR better tasting and could pass for real chicken. Again... no life threatening fat and cholesterol. I made Gardein chicken tonight as BBQ chicken sandwhiches. DELICIOUS.
More updates to come on my quest to find the best tasting meatless meat. ;)
