Slow Cooker Lentil Joes
As you know I love slow cooker cooking and I am always on the lookout for easy vegetarian recipes I can make for my son whenever our family gathers. I came across this recipe recently (from Alyssa @simplyquinoa.com) and I knew I had to give it a try. It was so easy and my son thought it was great. So if you are looking to go meatless once in awhile, or you have a vegetarian in your life this is worth a try.
Ingredients
3-4 cups vegetable broth
1 cup finely chopped carrots
1 cup finely chopped mushrooms
1 cup finely chopped onions
2 gloves garlic, minced
1½ cup brown lentils
½ cup quinoa
1 (8oz) can tomato sauce
½ cup ketchup
2 TBSP maple syrup
2 TBSP hot sauce
2 TBSP mustard
1 TBSP chili powder
1 Tsp. paprika
Pinch of salt and pepper
Directions
Beginning with 3 cups of the broth, add everything to a slow cooker (I line mine with a slow cooker bag for easy clean up). Stir to combine, cover and cook 2-3 hours on high or 4-6 hours on low. Check and add more liquid as needed.
Serve warm with a bun. As you know I love slow cooker cooking and I am always on the lookout for easy vegetarian recipes I can make for my son whenever our family gathers.
