    Sloppy Joe's is something which I love! Especially around Game Day, it's something I love to make for my kids and husband. This January, since I am trying to include as many Vegan recipes as possible in my diet, and I was craving Sloppy Joes so I tried this Vegan Alternative.

    The best alternative to anything Ground beef is Lentil. Its got that same texture and is the perfect alternative.

    Tips to make this recipe:

    • Do not overcook the lentil. If you're using Brown Lentil or Black Lentil is should take about 10-12 minutes to get cooked.
    • Red lentil cooks extremely fast so it will cook in just 4-5 minutes
    • Green Lentil should take about 7-8 minutes to get cooked.
    • Remember to keep the lentil a little chunky and don't make it mushy.
    • If you can find Vegan Worcestershire sauce in the store then you can use it. I have used Dark Soy Sauce and Vinegar as a replacement for Worcestershire sauce.
    • After cooking the Sweet Potatoes in the oven, get them out and allow them to cool down to room temperature. Do not wash them or add water to them.

    Other Possible Substitutions:

    • You can replace Soy Sauce & Vinegar with Vegan Worchestire Sauce
    • You can replace Brown Lentil with any lentil you like. Although the cooking time will vary.

    Notes

    • I use Trader Joes Tomato Sauce. for this recipe which is just a basic Tomato Puree tossed with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
    • I have used Soy Sauce & Cider Vinegar as a replacement for Worchester Sauce. You can use Vegan Worchestire Sauce if you can find it in the stores.
    • If you're using Green Lentils cook it for 18-20 minutes
    • If you're using Red lentil, cook it for 7-10 minutes.
