This is a semi-homade version inspired by the other sloppy joe lentil recipes here (thanks, guys!). This is for the 5-6 qt. slow cooker too. Hubby tried it and liked even though he's a carnivore. I made this one afternoon and froze half of the batch for another time. With a 6 qt. slow cooker, you can probably double the recipe easily (I ended up adding extra lentils to the recipe because I used too much water at first...ended up with 1.5lb. lentils and I still had plenty of room in my crock pot).
Ingredients:
1 lb lentils
3 (15 1/2 ounce) cans sloppy joe sandwich sauce (any brand you like)
6 cups water
Directions:
1. Clean and rinse lentils.
2. Place lentils in slow cooker with water.
3. Cook on high for 2-3 hours (or on low if you will be gone during the day).
4. Once lentils are soft, add in your canned sauce.
5. Allow to heat through.
