Make
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add cooking oil. When hot, add onions and saute until transparent ~3 minutes. Add garlic and mushrooms and saute until the mushrooms begin to soften ~5 minutes. Add tofu and BBQ sauce and stir to combine. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until sauce thickens ~10 minutes.
- Toss slaw and drain off any extra liquid. Season with salt and pepper.
- Toast hamburger buns if you like. Top each bun with vegetarian BBQ (remember to save half for Tuesday) and pickles. Enjoy with slaw on the side (or on top of your sandwiches if preferred)!
