Homemade Portobello Mushroom Sloppy Joes
Ingredients

For the Filling:

2 large portobello mushrooms, diced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 bell pepper (red or green), finely diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (use vegan Worcestershire if needed)
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon chili powder (optional for heat)
Salt and pepper to taste
For Assembly:

4 burger buns, toasted
Optional toppings: sliced pickles, coleslaw, or shredded cheese
Instructions

Prepare the Mushrooms:

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add diced portobello mushrooms and cook until softened and browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Cook the Veggies:

In the same skillet, add onions, bell peppers, and garlic. Cook until onions are translucent and peppers are softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Make the Sloppy Joe Sauce:

Lower the heat and stir in the ketchup, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, and chili powder. Mix until well combined.
Return the mushrooms to the skillet and stir to coat them evenly in the sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Assemble & Serve:

Spoon the mushroom mixture onto the bottom half of each toasted bun.
Add any desired toppings and place the top half of the bun on.
Serve hot with a side of fries, chips, or salad.
