Vegetarian Pinto Bean Sloppy Joes

This Vegetarian Pinto Bean Sloppy Joe recipe hits all of the buttons for a hearty satisfying cold weather comfort dish for both vegetarians and meat eaters.  The flavor profile is spot on and it has the same luscious consistency as the original beef version.  It's the perfect dish for these cold winter months.

I won't lie, there is a lot of chopping of vegetables involved.  But once you get into the dicing groove it goes pretty quickly, and once the carrots and onions are in the skillet you can start working on the garlic and red peppers, and so on, so much of the work is done during the cooking process.  And the end result is well worth the effort.
