2 TBSP OLIVE OIL
1 MEDIUM ONION
4 CLOVES GARLIC, PEELED
2 TSP DRIED OREGANO
1 32 OZ. TOMATO JUICE/COCKTAIL
1 14.5 OZ. CAN FIRE-ROASTED DICED TOMATOES
1/2 TSP SALT
1/2 TSP GROUND BLACK PEPPER
2 TSP WORCESTERSHIRE SAUCE
1 TSP SPICY MUSTARD (OPTIONAL)
4 CUPS TEXTURED VEGETABLE PROTEIN (TVP)
8 WHOLE-GRAIN HAMBURGER BUNS
2 CUPS SOY MOZZERELLA OR MOZ. CHEESE

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Heat oil in medium saucepan over medium heat. When oil is shimmering, add onion, garlic and oregano, and saute until vegetables are tender, 6-8 minutes. Add Worcestershire sauce, and mustard (if using), and bring to a low boil. Simmer for 15 minutes, then add the TVP, and stir until it is thoroughly softened and the liquid is absorbed.

Place buns on a baking sheet and heat in the oven, turning once, just until warmed through, 4-6 minutes. Top the bottom half of each bun with 1 cup of the TVP mixture and sprinkle with 1/4 cup of the cheese.
