Snobby Joes Recipe image

Sloppy Joes are perfect winter comfort food. But what if you're serving a crowd and want to keep costs low? Snobby Joes to the rescue. Made with lentils instead of ground beef, Snobby Joes are a family favorite at my house. They cook up quickly and taste just as good as the real deal.

Time 50m

Yield 6 snobby joes, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup dry lentils
4 cups water
1 tablespoon vegetable oil or 1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, finely chopped (or any other color)
2 -3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon chili powder (or more to taste)
1 teaspoon cumin
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1/4 cup tomato paste
1 -2 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon brown mustard

Steps:

  • Pour lentils and water into saucepan and bring to a boil.
  • Lower the temperature and simmer for 20 minutes until lentils are cooked soft.
  • About 10 minutes after you lower the temperature on the lentils, sauté onions over medium-high heat in a large saucepan until slightly softened.
  • Add the peppers and garlic and continue sautéing until the peppers and garlic are soft and the onions are starting to get golden in color.
  • Shake in cumin and chili powder and mix well.
  • Strain the cooked lentils and pour into the pan with the onions. Stir together.
  • Add tomato paste, tomato sauce, mustard and brown sugar and continue cooking for about 10 minutes.
  • Lower the temperature to minimal heat and keep warm until you're ready to eat (the longer it sits, the more flavors will meld together).
  • Serve your Snobby Joes in pita, a hamburger bun, or over rice.
