Open-Faced Sloppy Tempeh Sandwich

ingredients
- 118.29 ml crumbled dried tempeh
- 1 onion, chopped
- 59.14 ml green pepper, chopped
- barbecue sauce (I use a low carb brand)
- 2 slice thick bread (whole grain or low carb)
- mustard
- 2 slice reduced-fat cheese (optional)
- 236.59 ml prepared Coleslaw (I also use a reduced calorie version of Coleslaw Coleslaw)
directions
- In a microwavable bowl, combine the tempeh, onions, and green peppers. Add about 1/4 - 1/2 of a cup of warm water. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave until the tempeh and veggies are soft - about 2 1/2 minutes (There shouldn't be much liquid at this point; if the mixture is water-logged, drain it and continue.).
- Add enough of the barbecue sauce to the bowl so that the mixture, as you stir it up, has the consistancy of a "normal" sloggy joe. (You can also add a little garlic powder or mustard or even ketchup if you like.).
- Toast the bread slices. Place them on a baking sheet. Slaver each slice with mustard and then add the sloppy joe mixture. Top with cheese, if using.
- Broil the sandwich over high heat until the cheese melts.
- Remove the sandwiches from the oven and place each on a plate. Add the coleslaw on top. Serve with fork and knife (and napkins :).
