Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 green bell pepper finely chopped
- 1 small onion finely diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cups water
- 1 cup broth beef or vegetable broth
- 1 cup brown lentils
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- ¼ cup ketchup
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (use vegetarian Worcestershire sauce if desired)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 8 hamburger buns
Instructions
- Cook green pepper and onion in olive oil until softened, about 4 minutes. Add garlic, water, broth and lentils.
- Bring to a boil and reduce heat to simmer. Cover and cook 25 minutes. Stir in remaining ingredients (except buns) and simmer an additional 10-15 minutes or until thickened.
- Spoon lentil mixture over hamburger buns and serve.
Notes
- Slow Cooker Version: Combine all ingredients in the slow cooker increasing broth to 2 cups. Cook on high for 4-5 hours or on low for 8-10 hours. To thicken, cook on high uncovered an additional 30 minutes if needed.
- Canned Lentils: To replace dry lentils, drain canned lentils well and skip the boiling (and the broth). You will need 2 cups of canned lentils (or pre-cooked lentils).
- Variations: Add 1/2 lb. of ground beef and half the lentils along with half the liquid.
- For extra flavor, spread garlic butter over the hamburger buns and lightly toast under the broiler.
