Sloppy JoJo's

[Guest guest]

I have not tried this yet, but I plan to pick up lentils this weekend and make

it. I

think it will probably freeze really well.

 

Sloppy JoJo's in the crockpot

 

1 tbsp. veg. oil

1 large yellow onion, diced

1 celery stalk diced

1 small jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped

1 red or green pepper, seeded and diced

2 tsps. chili powder

1-1/2 cups brown lentils, rinsed (not red lentils)

14-1/2 oz diced tomatoes ( I like the Rotel or flavored style Mexican is the

best)

3 cups water

2 tbsp. low sodium soy sauce

1 tbsp. prepared yellow or brown mustard

1 tbsp. sugar to cut the acid

1 tsp. salt or to taste and add at the end of cooking.

Fresh pepper to taste

 

Heat the oil in a skillet and saute the onion, celery, jalapeno pepper, and red

or green

pepper and chili powder for a few minutes until onion and celery are tender but

still

firm. Transfer then mixture to the crockpot. Add the lentils, tomatoes, water,

soy sauce,

mustard and sugar. Add pepper. Stir. Add the salt at the end, this keeps the

lentils from

taking long to cook and becoming tough. Cover the crockpot, set it on low and

cook for

7-8 hours. Or 1 hr on high and 6-7 on low. Serve on wheat buns and have a lot of

napkins!
