Method
- Put the lentils in a small sauce pot and pour in beer.
- Cover and bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, lower heat and simmer for about 20 minutes, until lentils are soft.
- Drain and set aside.
- About 10 minutes before the lentils are done boiling, preheat a medium sauce pan pot over medium heat.
- Saute the onion and pepper in the oil (about 7 minutes), until softened.
- Add the garlic and saute a minute more.
- Add the cooked lentils, chili powder, pepper and salt.
- Stir gently until just combined.
- Add the tomato sauce and tomato paste.
- Cook for about 10 minutes.
- Add the maple syrup and mustard and heat through.
- Turn the heat off and let sit for about 10 minutes, so that the flavors can meld.
- I like to serve these open faced, with a scoop of sloppy joes on each slice of the bun.
- Topping suggestions include Tabasco, pickles, onions, sauerkraut, coleslaw, avocado slices, etc.
