Sloppy Lentils - crockpot!! - HippyMom - An Evolution of Female Community Parenting Board

freckles · 01-14-2010, 05:22 PM

like sloppy joes

1Tbs olive oil
1 med onion chopped
1 bell pepper chopped
1 TBS chili powder
1 1/2 cups dry lentils
1 can (14oz) crushed tomatoes
3 cups water
2 Tbs tamari or soy sauce
1 Tbs mustard
1 Tbs brown sugar
salt and pepper to taste

Soften onion and peppers in oil in small skillet (I didnt bother with this step, just tossed them in the crockpot

) add chili powder and then transfer to crock pot.
Add remaining ingredients and stir. Cook on low 8 hours. Serve on toasted rolls

for the babies i am serving with some brown rice. It is delicious! and my onions and peppers are plenty soft without dirtying another pan

I did turn the heat to high for 2 hrs then to low for 5-6 more, (you could do high for about 4 hrs if you dont have 8)

hoping the kids like it..cause it was SO easy !
