These were Ok. They were not the greatest or the worst.

I thought this was a great sloppy joe knock-off! The flavor really captured the essence of the sloppy joe! Very easy to make, and the fact that I usually have all the ingredients on hand is a bonus!

This is basically a saucy lentil chile sereved on a bun. I've never had a joe of any kind before so I don't know how close this comes for flavour and texture. But I sure liked it!

The whole family enjoyed these lentils, they had very good flavour and a little bit of heat. I only used 2 tablespoons of chili powder instead of three because I thought that would be plenty for our palates and I was right. I also let everything sit in the pot for a while (30 minutes) before serving to give the flavours a chance to meld. I think this is something that could be easily made ahead and taste great after a little rest.

Overall I thought this was a hearty and satisfying dish piled on top of some crusty, toasted rolls. My husband enjoyed it without any accompaniment at all!

First of all, I would have rated this a 4, but the 3 others were firm 3s.

This dish has the flavor of sloppy joes, at least its close. I liked the substitution of lentils for the meat. I was able to pressure cook the lentils in the morning, and then come home and have it put together in another 35 minutes.

I cut the chili powder a bit - but it was still too much for 12 daughter. But for me, it was perfect.

UPDATE: Two months later, I thawed these leftovers and they were greeted by my children as if lost friends. Everyone loved them, leading me to raise the rating to a 4 (from a 3).
