Today is a really good day to enjoy the ultimate comfort food…slow cooker sloppy joes!

I finally have a sloppy joe recipe that I can honestly say is yummy AND healthy. Forget about the sauce in a can. Try this easy, vegan recipe in your slow cooker for a home-cooked dinner.  You won't feel like you’re missing out on any great flavors or taste because this recipe is just THAT good. 

Sure, a healthy slow-cooker recipe involves a little bit of prep work, but aside from that, they do make our lives easier.

Honestly, it doesn’t get much simpler than throwing some lentils, veggies, spices and sauce in a Crock-Pot® slow cooker and then in 4 – 6 hours you have a delicious meal. Now you're free to run some errands, catch a movie, go to work, or chase after the kids.

As a busy mom with two toddlers and a newborn, the Crock-Pot® 6-Quart Programmable Cook & Carry™ Slow Cooker is the ultimate game-changer for dinner time.

To purchase the Crock-Pot® Cook & Carry™ Slow Cooker, check out the end-cap available in select Target stores. Or, if you're ready to shop now, hover over the photo below to click through to Target.com and purchase them!

If you haven't upgraded your decade old slow cooker...trust me, you need to! The Crock-Pot® Cook & Carry™ Slow Cooker has extra features like a locking lid and larger handles for easy portability when traveling to tailgates, parties or family dinners. There is seriously no hassle or mess when using this bad boy!

What I truly love about it, though, is that it does the thinking for you. Perfect for those of us dealing with "mom brain" — simply set the cooking time on high for 4 or 6 hours or on low for 8 or 10 hours and go about your day. After cooking is complete, your Crock-Pot® will automatically shift to the Warm setting, ensuring your meal stays warm and ready to enjoy.
