Quinoa Sloppy Joes


I found this recipe and adapted it from Real Mom Kitchen's cookbook. Super yummy. My sister even liked them and she is often hesitant about my kitchen experiments.

Ingredients:
  • 2 c. cooked quinoa (about 1 c. uncooked plus 2 c. water)
  • 1/2 c. to 3/4 c. onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 c. red pepper, finely chopped
  • 1 can (10 3/4 oz) condensed tomato soup
  • 3 Tb brown sugar
  • 2 Tb BBQ sauce (or more if you want)
  • Biscuits, homemade or from the can...whatever you want to make, or you could use buns
Directions:
  1. Cook the quinoa by putting quinoa and water into a sauce pan. Bring to boil, then cover and reduce heat. Cook for 15-20 min. till quinoa is fluffy and water is absorbed.
  2. Saute onion and red pepper 5-10 min in a tiny bit of olive oil.
  3. Add the cooked quinoa, tomato soup, brown sugar, BBQ sauce. Stir to combine. Heat thoroughly, 5-10  minutes.
  4. Serve on top of halved biscuits. You can eat them open faced or closed.
