Sloppy Vegan Joe's

This is one of my favorite recipes.  I always make enough so that there are leftovers for lunches during the week.  Textured Vegetable Protein can be found in the bulk section of Fred Meyer, Winco, or Whole Foods.  Bob's Red Mill also packages it and can be found in the health food section of most stores.
