Sloppy Joes with Red Lentils

Sloppy Joes with red lentils

Apologies for the plain photo, but this is what real life looks like – W was hungry (OK, we all were), and to be honest I didn’t plan to share this until I got several requests on Instagram. People like sloppy lentils! It was a last minute, just-drove-home-from-Edmonton-and-rummaged-through-the-freezer dinner, with a small handful of red lentils thrown in to boost fibre and other good things. Dry split red lentils cook quickly and mask themselves perfectly, soaking up the sweet-vinegary flavours of sloppy Joe sauce – no one has a clue they’re there. (If you like, you could use canned brown lentils instead – they work just as well.)

You don’t need much to make a difference – a spoonful of lentils here and there adds up.

Sloppy Joes with Red Lentils

AuthorJulie

Yields1 Serving

canola oil, for cooking
1 small onion, peeled and chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 - 1 1/2 lb. lean ground beef or bison
1-2 cups tomato sauce or diced tomatoes
1/3 cup ketchup
2 Tbsp. cider or red wine vinegar
2 Tbsp. brown sugar
1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup dry red lentils
Salt and pepper, to taste
4 soft buns, cheese buns, or biscuits

1

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pot set over medium-high heat and sauté the onion for 4-5 minutes, until soft. Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Add the beef and cook for about 5 minutes, breaking it up as you cook, until the meat is no longer pink.

2

Add the tomato sauce (more or less depending on how saucy you like it), ketchup, vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the dry lentils and 1/4 cup of water, bring to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the lentils are soft and the sauce has thickened. Split the buns or biscuits in half and ladle the sloppy Joe mixture on top. Serves 4.

    You just hit on a fabulous tip that I have used for many years. It is extremely easy to add lentils to any dish with hamburger – up the fiber and reduce the red meat. No one even notices them but the nutrition benefits are awesome with high soluble fiber and lower fat. Now I know why I like your site so much.

    Perfect dinner for hockey practice night! Cooked the meat and onions in the afternoon and mixed it all together in the slow cooker. After a few hours the lentils were mixed in nicely. First time I’ve used lentils like this and will definitely do it again. Everyone loved it!

    We made these and served them over the quick rise baguette. All I can say is YUM! This is the best thing I’ve eaten this year!

    I have had Sloppy Joe’s before and found them just okay. This recipe… wow, just WOW! My husband noticed the recipe over my shoulder and requested it, otherwise I would never have made it. It just became one of our favourites!

    Thanks so much!
