Difficulty: Easy

Estimated Calories

Per Serving (filling only, without bun): Approximately 200-250 calories.

Ingredients

For the Lentil Filling:

1 tbsp olive oil

1 yellow onion, finely diced

1 green bell pepper, finely diced

2-3 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup brown or green lentils, rinsed and picked over

2 ½ cups vegetable broth

For the Sloppy Joe Sauce:

1 (15 oz) can tomato sauce

2 tbsp tomato paste

2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari

1-2 tbsp maple syrup or brown sugar

1 tbsp apple cider vinegar or yellow mustard

1 tsp smoked paprika

½ tsp chili powder (optional, for a little heat)

Salt and black pepper, to taste

For Serving:

4-6 soft burger buns

Sliced pickles, avocado, or a handful of spinach

How to Prepare

1. Sauté the Aromatics:

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper and cook for 5-7 minutes, until softened.

Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

2. Cook the Lentils:

Add the rinsed lentils and vegetable broth to the skillet. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, until the lentils are tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.

3. Create the Sauce:

Once the lentils are cooked, stir in the tomato sauce, tomato paste, soy sauce, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, and chili powder (if using).

4. Simmer to Perfection:

Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook uncovered for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened to your desired "sloppy" consistency.

Season generously with salt and black pepper to taste.

5. Serve:

Lightly toast the burger buns if desired.

Spoon a generous amount of the hot lentil mixture onto the bottom half of each bun.

Top with your favorite toppings like pickles or avocado, add the top bun, and serve immediately.
