History

If you were a child growing up in the 1970’s in the United States, then you most likely have fond memories of Sloppy Joes. The Sloppy Joe first surfaced as a sandwich made with tomato sauce and ground/chopped beef in the US in the 1940’s. Prior to that, it had a more broad definition as a deli sandwich that was quick and cheap. In 1969, Con Agra foods introduced their Sloppy Joe sauce, making it widely accessible in households. They marketed it as a meal that was quick and fast, and American households gobbled it up as a result.

Sloppy Joes Re-Imagined

These Vegan Sloppy Joes are a tribute to not only your inner child, but to those parents who looked to the Sloppy Joes as a quick meal to feed their families. We’ve gotten more health conscious, watching how much saturated fat we consume, keeping our bad cholesterol (LDL) levels lower. These delicious sandwiches make use of lentils, which are not only packed with fiber and protein, but with loads of great nutrients too. Walnuts also offer support with their healthy omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamin E, which help protect our skin from harsh elements and moisturize from within.
