Mushroom-Veggie Sloppy Sandwiches


Pseudo sloppy joes I guess. They were really tasty, but for some reason I keep getting drawn to all the vegetarian meals with beans, veggies, cumin and chili powder. They all taste basically the same...like a good bean dip. This recipe rules because of the MUSHROOMS!! So delic, I think I will just make a sandwich with the portobellos next time:)

Rachel Ray 365: No Repeats Pg 280

4 portobello mushrooms
2 limes
4 tbsp vegetable oil
5 garlic cloves, chopped
3 tbsp chili powder(I used WAY less)
1 medium yellow onion chopped
1 large red bell pepper chopped
1 large jalapeno chopped
1 small zucchini or squash chopped
1 tbsp cumin
1 tbsp hot pepper sauce
1 c beer
1 can tomatoes crushed
1 can dark red kidney beans rinsed
1 cup spicy vegetarian refried beans
1/4 c cilantro shopped
4 english muffins
1 avocado sliced
spicy shredded Monterrey Jack cheese

Preheat oven to 450. Place PBmushrooms on a rimmed cookie sheet and season with oil, salt, pepper, juice of 1 lime, some garlic and chili powder. Roast 12 min gill side up.
In a large soup pan saute onions, peppers, jalapenos, zucchini and remaining garlic. Add cumin, remaining chili powder, pepper sauce, and salt until soft and browned. De glaze pan with beer and add tomatoes and beans. Thicken by adding refried beans. Simmer 10+ minutes and finish with cilantro. Toast english muffins. Slice avocado and squeeze remaining lime on slices.

Place 1 roasted mushroom on the bottom half of muffin. Place a large helping of chili on top of mushroom, followed by cheese and avocado. Finish with muffin top. Don't try and eat with your hands:)

I love that it uses an english muffin and avacado. Does sound groovy, but very messy!

This does sound like a great easy weekday meal. It's impossible to find portobello mushrooms and refried beans here ... I'm going to have to save this one. I do like the english muffin idea as well.

The mushrooms are a MUST so just wait until you can get them...They might ship okay, you want me to send you some? :)
