Receta Sweet and Smoky Lentil Sloppy Joes: #WeekdaySupper #McSkilletSauce
Vegan Sloppy Joes using lentils, sweet bell peppers and onions, and McCormick Sweet and Smoky Sloppy Joes Skillet Sauce!
As a child, my favorite lunch in the school cafeteria was Sloppy Joes. As I inched down the long lunch line, I watched jolly hair-netted lunch ladies ladle a piping hot chunky tomato sauce filled with ground beef and onions over steaming hot buns, and was filled with eager anticipation. No matter what else was happening that day – losing my homework, leaving overdue library books at home, or getting bad marks on a pop quiz – this lunch was something that made me feel good about life. It reminded me that in the midst of my 8-year-old angst, there was hope and comfort.
I haven’t had a Sloppy Joe in years now, decades in fact. But as soon as I saw McCormick’s Sweet and Smoky Sloppy Joes, I knew I had to try it – vegetarian style. The skillet sauce was spot on perfect, with its balance of spices and smoky flavor, full of the natural flavors I’ve come to count on from McCormick. And for bonus points, since I had some cooked lentils on hand in the refrigerator, this dinner came together in about 30 minutes, making it a perfect meal at the end of a busy weekday.
