Can we talk about delicious and satisfying for a second? These Red Lentil Sloppy Joes hit the spot and they are sure to be a hit with your family and friends, vegan or not!

This mixture is also DELICIOUS over bakes potatoes, oil free fries, on top of a bed of greens, etc. The sky’s the limit, so feel free to eat it any way you’d like.

Ingredients: Makes 4-6 servings

1 small onion
1 green bell pepper
3 or 4 cloves of garlic
1 cup of red lentils
1 cup water
1 cup of veggie broth
8 oz tomato sauce
6 oz tomato paste
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
2 TBSP brown sugar
1 tsp Chili Powder
1 tsp yellow mustard
1 TBSP Apple Cider Vinegar

Instructions

Chop onion, green pepper and garlic by hand, or throw it all in a food processor.
Saute veggie in an Instant Pot or on the stove. Use water or veggie broth to saute - no oil.
Add in the rest of the ingredients.
If using an Instant Pot, cover with the lid, set to pressure cook for 15 minutes. When the timer stops, do manual release.
If cooking on the stove, cook for 20 minutes or until the lentils are soft. Stir constantly to make sure the lentils don’t stick to the bottom.
For weight loss, I recommend serving it on ezekial bread. You can also top a potato, serve with rice, or eat it alone. Enjoy!
If you are not trying to lose weight, enjoy on a vegan hamburger bun and enjoy!

Serve and enjoy!

Full On Plants is about eating in a way that keeps you full, fuels your body, and supports your health—fully.

This is where simple, satisfying, whole food plant-based meals meet real results. No calorie counting, no restriction—just feel-good food that fills your belly and supports long-term wellness.

I started this journey after losing 50 pounds by doing the opposite of what most diets teach—I ate more food, not less. And I kept it off by focusing on meals that are fast, flavorful, and packed with the power of plants.

Full On doesn’t just mean full and satisfied—it also means we’re all in on living well, eating better, and making this lifestyle doable for real life.

Whether you’re just getting started or ready to stay consistent, Full On Plants makes plant-based eating simple, sustainable, and energizing—so you can thrive without overthinking it.

Because food should fuel your body, fill your belly, and support your health.

And plants? They do all three.
