1
In a large saute pan (with lid) cook ground beef on medium-high heat until browned.
2
If necessary, drain any fat from pan.
3
Add garlic and stir to combine.
4
Add carrots and spinach to ground beef and stir until the spinach begins to wilt (approximately 1-2 minutes).

Add remaining ingredients (beans, tomatoes, green onion, mustard, vinegar, ketchup and maple syrup).
6
Reduce heat to medium and cover the pan.
7
Allow mixture to simmer, stirring occasionally, until completely cooked (approximately 8-10 minutes).
8
Remove from heat.

Toast the buns (if desired) and spoon mixture onto buns.

I added another handful of fresh spinach and some additional shredded carrots to the mixture right before serving so the Sloppy Joes would have a little fresh veggie crunch.
