ITALIAN JOE SANDWICH (vegan option available)

Heat 1 tbsp of EVOO in a large skillet and sauté chopped onions and garlic until the onions become translucent. Transfer to a small dish and set aside. Heat the other tbsp of EVOO in the same pan and add grass fed ground beef or cooked lentils. Cook the ground beef until it starts to brown and add in onions with spices. If using lentils you can add these right away. Continue to cook the beef until it’s cooked through. Once the beef is cooked, add the Tomato & Basil @verogustosauce and dijon mustard, stir to combine, and let simmer until heated. You can add the Tomato & Basil @verogustosauce and dijon mustard directly to the lentil mixture, stir, and simmer until warm. Toast the buns before loading the mixture onto the four bottom buns, cheese, and the top bun. I served these Italian Joe’s with a side salad and air fried carrot fries.
