1 cup ketchup

2 cups tomato juice

2 tablespoons brown mustard

¼ teaspoon black pepper

In saucepan, heat oil over medium heat and saute crumbles, onions and peppers, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.

Smother a bun half with ½ cup of crumble mixture, replace bun top and serve.
