Many of you probably remember my "Hamburger" Gravy Recipe since it is a favorite. Normally we use a package of Meatless Ground for the hamburger but I have been experimenting. I'm trying to use less packaged fake meats so I tried lentils and it works! You follow the original recipe but use lentils instead. What I did was, I cooked a 16oz bag of dry lentils according to the directions on the package. I added half of it to my gravy in place of the Meatless Ground and put the other half in the fridge for another day. (See Bonus Recipe: Sloppy Seconds below)
Bonus Recipe: Sloppy Seconds
Ingredients:
1/2 lb dry lentils, cooked (use the leftovers from the "hamburger" gravy)
1 can of vegan sloppy joe mix
Your choice of bread, buns, tortillas or taco shells
If you use canned lentils or freshly cooked lentils just heat them in the sauce in a pan until cooked through and serve on buns, bread or tortillas. If you are using cold leftovers, throw the lentils in a pan and mix in a little bit of water and heat before adding the sauce. That is all! It's easy!
