SLOPPY JOES
Put the leftovers on a baking sheet and freeze. Store them in a freezer bag and reheat them for a quick meal another day.
Bake potatoes in a 425ø oven for 45 minutes or longer, until they test tender when pricked with a fork.
Prepare filling: While the potatoes are baking, cook the carrots and green beans in a little simmering water until tender and prepare the Sloppy Joes recipe. Drain the carrots and beans and mix into the Sloppy Joes mixture.
Prepare potatoes: Using a pot holder to protect your hands, slice the baked potatoes in half the long way. Scoop out the white insides, leaving ¼" shell. Put the shells on a baking sheet and the white insides into a mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer or potato masher, mash the potatoes with the salt and pepper. Add hot water as needed to make potatoes the desired consistency.
Sloppy Joes: To rehydrate the TVP, place the TVP in a medium saucepan and pour the boiling water over it. Add the sloppy joe sauce to the TVP; cook over low heat until heated through.
Assemble: Put ⅓ cup filling into each of the 12 potato shells. Spread ½ cup mashed potatoes over the top of each shell to cover the filling.
Sprinkle with paprika and bake at 350ø for 20 minutes, until heated through.
