Lentil Sloppy Joes
(Barely adapted from Skimpy Pantry)
Ingredients
1 cup uncooked lentils, rinsed.
3 cups water
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium-sized onion, diced fine (I use the food processor!)
A hearty sprinkling of garlic powder
1 bell pepper, diced fine (I use the food processor again!)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon yellow mustard1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon vinegar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 can diced green chilies
2 cans tomato sauce (8 oz.)
Directions
Combine the lentils and water in a sauce pan, covered on medium low for 30 minutes or until lentils are tender. Drain any excess water.
Meanwhile, saute the onions and
bell pepper in olive oil until onions are opaque. Add remaining
ingredients except for the lentils. Cook on medium low, covered, for
20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
When the lentils are done, add to the tomato mixture. Ladle on burger buns and serve with whatever you like on sloppy joes. We do cheese, mustard, and jalapenos around our place!
