Meal Prep: Midwestern Vegan Sloppy Joe’s

CONTRIBUTORS

I’m from a small town the Midwest, so Sloppy Joe sandwiches are pretty much my definition of a home-cooked dish. Simple, hearty staples like these bring back memories of playing in summer thunderstorms with my sister as my mom simmered ground beef, boiled just-shucked corn, and dumped baked beans into a hot pot.

There are lots of vegan and vegetarian recipes out there, but none of them include McCormick’s Sloppy Joe mix, so I altered a recipe from Nora Cooks to fit my own Midwestern needs. I also choose to boil some corn with my meal. We are also happy to post your creative recipes that may want to share here on our ➡️Share Your Recipe⬅️ page.
