Vegan Sloppy Joes
"This is a great tasting vegan meal I really enjoyed but hubby was missing the meat. If you are a meat lover you can swap out the lentils for ground meat (1 cup bean to 1 pound lean ground meat ratio). Follow step 1 then set the ground meat on top to cook. Before eating, remove the lid and break the ground meat up with a spatula and stir well to mix."
