Vegan lentil sloppy joes are the ultimate comfort food. They’re super tasty and check all of the boxes that comfort food should. 1) They evoke feelings of nostalgia (which is great for your soul,) 2) They are quick and easy to make (nostalgia shouldn't take all night to achieve!) and 3) They are nourishing (comfort shouldn't come at the cost of our health). These saucy, hearty, and all-around amazing vegan lentil sloppy joes tick off each of these points perfectly. Perfect for any occasion, but especially nice after a rough day. Sweet, smoky, tangy, and messy...just like a childhood favorite should be!
