Ingredients

1 cup uncooked green lentils
4 cups water
1 medium yellow onion, diced
1 medium green bell pepper, chopped small
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons chili powder
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
(1) 15-ounce can tomato sauce
2 tablespoons ketchup (or tomato paste)
3 tablespoons yellow mustard
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 teaspoons salt, or to taste
For serving: whole grain hamburger buns

Instructions

First, cook the lentils: In a medium pot with a lid, add the lentils and water. Bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer for 18-20 minutes or until tender. Drain excess liquid and set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chopped onion, green bell pepper and garlic. Use a few tablespoons of water, or vegetable broth, to saute and prevent burning. Stir constantly for 3-4 minutes, using more water as needed.
Now add the chili powder and smoked paprika, and stir to coat the vegetables for about 1 minute. Add a little water if it's too dry.
