• Ingredients: 9
• Yields: 8 sloppy joes
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 2 (16 ounce) cans lentils, drained
• 1 cup ketchup
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 tablespoon mustard
• 1⁄2 cup water

directions

1. Spray your crock pot with non-stick cooking spray. Add all the ingredients, and stir to combine. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or high for 3 hours. If you find your mixture is too wet, drape a towel under the lid to absorb excess moisture during the final hour of cooking. Alternatively, add water in 1/4 cup increments if mix is too dry. Serve on either hamburger, slider, or mini-slider buns and top with cheese if desired.
