Can you believe I never made a Sloppy Joe until last month when I was experimenting with Beyond Meat’s Beyond Burger?

My kids loved them. In fact, Jake loved them so much that he told me he’d eat a Beyond Burger the next time we made hamburgers. I’ve been trying to get Jake to replace his hamburger with a Beyond Burger forever.

He finally did after these Sloppy Joes and I’m grinning ear to ear. Major vegan mama win!

My favorite part of these burgers was the vegan brioche bun (that I purchased from Milk and Eggs. (Use this link at get 20% off your order.)
