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.
Let me know if you try it!

Combine the lentils, onion, green pepper, mushrooms, carrots, garlic powder, yellow mustard, maple syrup, crushed tomatoes, sea salt and black pepper in the slow cooker. Use a spatula to mix well. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 6 hours.
About 20 minutes before you are ready to eat, preheat your oven to 400 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place your portobello mushroom caps on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes.
Place a portobello mushroom cap on a plate and top with a few large spoonfuls of the sloppy joe mix. Top with baby spinach and set another mushroom cap on top. Enjoy!
