Who doesn't love a good slow cooker meal? Try this take on the classic sloppy joe for an extra sloppy and delicious dinner. Add avocado, pickles, onions and/or cashew sour cream to really take these vegan sloppy joes out of bounds.

Leftovers can be served on brown rice tortilla as a pizza, or with brown rice tortilla chips for dipping, with sweet potato toast or as a bowl with some quinoa and greens.
