I've made a chili using the Gardein ground round.Chili is very serious business here in Texas, so there's no way I could get away with making a meatless version. We're funny that way. But if I call it soup instead, that would probably work.
Oh, I forgot about lentils! Besides sloppy Joes, there's Lentil Soup and Lentil Loaf. And using caramelized onions, there's a ton of various recipes for Mujaddara.I did accidentally stumble across a recipe that my family liked a lot. I had some leftover lentils in the freezer that I was trying to use up. So I just warmed them up, added barbecue sauce and caramelized onions, served it on hamburger buns, and told everyone they were Sloppy Joes. No one seemed to notice anything amiss.
