Preparation Method
- In a large skillet, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic.
- Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
- Add the finely chopped mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they release their moisture and begin to brown, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the cooked lentils, tomato sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, chili powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
- Mix well to combine.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors meld together and the mixture thickens.
- Toast the gluten-free hamburger buns if desired.
- Spoon the lentil and mushroom mixture onto the bottom half of each bun.
- Top with the other half of the bun.
- Serve hot and enjoy your Vegetarian Sloppy Joes!
