Vegan Red Sloppy Joe's

Sloppy Joe's can be a favorite for game night, family gatherings, or a Meatless Monday meal. These Red Lentil Sloppy Joe's are extra spicy and taste great with the mixture of red lentils, red peppers, and spices. They can be served with chips or your favorite veggie - I chose to serve with green beans.
