Lentil sloppy joes?

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
Can they be frozen? I freeze beans in chili, and freeze beef sloppy joes, but am not sure about lentils. I'd like to try them, and if they turn out well, make big batches to freeze ahead. Thanks!

ETA: And while we're at it...any favorite recipes?

Here you go!

1T olive oil
1 med yellow onion-chopped
1 small bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1T chili powder
1 1/2 c dried brown lentils, picked over and rinsed
1 (14oz) can crushed tomatoes
3 c water
2T tamari or other soy sauce
1T prepared mustard
1T light brown sugar
1t salt

Heat oil in a skillet over med heat. Add onion and bell pepper, cover and cook until sofened, about 5 minutes. Add chili powder and stir to coat

transfer onion mixture to a slow cooker and remaining ingredients and stir to combine. Cover and cook on low for 8 hrs.

*****I have also used this recipe on the stove top and simmered until the lentil are cooked rather than use the slow cooker. It is great both ways. I always freeze the leftovers.
