These are also known as Sloppy Lentils. Lentils are a great, inexpensive way to add fiber to your diet. And Healthful Joes are a yummy way!!!

1 cup lentils, rinsed
1 cup chopped onion
3 tb olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
15 oz can organic diced tomatoes
6 oz can organic tomato paste
1 Tb chili powder
2 Tb Braggs
3 Tb maple syrup or natural sweetener of choice
1-2 Tb yellow mustard (wet mustard)
1 tsp real salt
Put lentils is a sauce pan with water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, lower heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Drain and set aside.
While the lentils are simmering cook onions with olive oil in a large skillet until the onions are soft and translucent. Add the diced tomatoes and minced garlic, cook for about five minutes. Add in the rest of your ingredients, including the lentils, and simmer 5 - 10 minutes.

They look great! We make a version that uses red beans that is yummy too. It is amazing how if you get the seasoning right, you don't even notice there's no meat in there. Can't wait to try this. :)
Heather, your picture looks fabulous! I love those buns and fries.
