In the United States a Sloppy Joe is a hot sandwich typically composed of minced beef cooked in a skillet with seasoned tomato sauce or tomato paste and spread between two sides of a bun. Commercially made sauces such as Manwich are also available. But why use that canned junk?
Sloppy Joe’s were always a childhood favorite and I still love them today! Recently I had some vegetarian friends staying with me, so I was called upon to come up with a vegetarian version of the classic Sloppy Joe recipe. I decided to replace the beef with brown rice and pinto beans. I like to serve mine with French fries. Enjoy!
1 Tbs Vegetable oil 
1 medium Onion; chopped
1 medium Green pepper; chopped
3 cup Cooked brown rice
32 oz can Mexican-style pinto beans
3/4 cup Hickory smoke barbecue sauce
4 Whole grain buns
Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add onions and green pepepr; cook 2 to 3 minutes.
Add rice, beans and barbecue sauce. Simmer 10 to 15 minutes, until heated through.
Serve on buns.
Servings: 4

[...] OUTLOOK I googled around and found two Sloppy Joe variants that I’m interested to try. One makes use of ground chicken instead of ground beef and the other leaves the meat out entirely and replaced it with rice and pinto beans. [...]
