Vegetarian Sloppy Joe

I found THIS recipe at GROUP RECIPES. It is one of my favorite things to make. I made it for my main dish for our Super Bowl party and a lot of people ended up eating it as a side dish instead. I hope you enjoy.

Vegetarian Sloppy Joe

• Vegetable Oil, 1 TBS
• 1 Medium Onion, chopped (I don't use this because my husband doesn't like onions)
• 1 Green Pepper, chopped
• 3 cups cooked brown rice
• Pinto Beans, 2 cans (15 oz)
• Chili Powder, 1 1/2 TBS
• Hickory Smoked Barbecue Sauce, 3/4 cup (I use closer to a 1 full cup so it isn't dry)

1. Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Add onion and green pepper; cook 2 to 3 minutes.
3. Add rice, beans, chili powder and barbecue sauce.
4. Simmer 10 to 15 minutes, until heated through.
5. Serve on buns.

This is delicious. I also like to put a little bit of shredded cheese on it too.

I made these delicious bars last night. They smelled heavenly and when I took them out in 1 hour they past the tooth pick test. But then when I cut into them after they cooled they were really, really gooey from the bananas. I think I will either have to bake them longer or puree the bananas so I don't have any chunks. If you give this recipe a try let me know what you think.
