If you’re craving something hearty and filling, these black bean sloppy joes are thick, rich, and something you will want to try. They are packed with loads of fibre, vegetables and protein to keep you satisfied.
I will often double up on this recipe and freeze the leftovers in an airtight container for later.
I serve them on gluten free buns, and although they don’t need any condiments, I can’t resist. My favourite toppings are shredded cheddar cheese, tomatoes, avocados and lettuce.
