Julie from GatewayGroupies here in St. Louis recently created a vegetarian (can be vegan) sandwich in the tradition of a fast food rib sandwich. To make the dish vegan, we recommend substituting the American cheese for Daiya – a great new vegan cheese option. Julie wrote, “This was DELICIOUS. Thank you so much for MATCH®. I truly love cooking with it and making my meat-eating friends jealous of my food!”

Now, without further adieu, Julie’s recipe:

Ingredients

• 1 package MATCH® pork
• 1 tbsp garlic powder
• 2 tbsp liquid smoke
• 1 tbsp canola oil
• 1 tsp salt

McMatch Rib Sauce

• 1/2 cup Kraft Barbecue Sauce
• 1/2 cup Bullseye Barbecue Sauce
• 1 tbsp corn syrup

Preparation in Julie’s words:
In a medium bowl, mix first five ingredients thoroughly. Roughly 1/2 cup of mixture makes a McMATCH Rib patty. Spray a sheet of wax paper with cooking spray and drop the scoop of MATCH® mixture on it. Fold over the paper and form it into a rectangle, roughly two inches by four inches, about a 1/2 inch thick. Spray cooking spray on a fork handle and press three or four grooves across the patty. Heat a skillet to medium high and spray with cooking spray. Brown the patties on both sides. Meanwhile, mix your sauce (or use any kind of barbecue sauce you want). When all the patties are browned, pour the sauce over them and flip them around until they’re all coated. Cover and simmer in the sauce for 10 minutes, until the sauce boils. Serve on toasted hoagie rolls with a piece of American cheese, two pickles and slivered onions to taste. Vegans: Omit cheese [or substitute a vegan cheese]. Everything else is already safe!
