My family loves lentils and using them in the meatless meals really adds the perfect texture. It's great to find recipes for meatless meals that don't use too many processed foods.

do you use canned lentils or the raw lentils?

can't wait to try this...Adding carrots and mushrooms to the bulk and flavor is enticing. I tried stretching sloppy joes the other day with pinto beans(half ground beef) and my daughters boyfriend said that he likes it with the beans even better than just meat.

When I clicked on the print button, some units in the recipe got lost. Like, "1 15 ounch can tomato sauce" became 1 ounce of tomato sauce." There are others. Watch out.
