Introduce the recipe and mention that it is inspired by a friend's vegan cookbook.

Substitute bulgur with chopped cauliflower and add white rice for bulk.

Prep the ingredients including onion, garlic, and cauliflower.

Cook the chopped cauliflower with onion and garlic in a pan until tender.

Add apple cider vinegar, molasses, mustard, tomato sauce, coconut aminos, regular Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, chili powder, onion salt, and black pepper to the pan.

Stir the mixture and let it cook down to thicken the sauce and soften the cauliflower.

Add cooked white rice to the mixture for consistency.

Add pinto beans closer to the end of cooking to avoid overcooking them.

Check the consistency of the mixture, ensuring it leaves a clear path when stirred in the skillet.

Toast gluten-free buns in the oven until golden brown.

Dish out the sloppy joe mixture onto the toasted buns, ensuring the consistency is not too dry or too wet.

Top with dairy-free cheddar and optional hot sauce, then place in the oven to melt the cheese.
