I’ve been making this recipe for a few years now. It started as a camping recipe that seemed easy to heat up while out, and now it’s a fan favorite of all of my friends and family. I highly recommend using the broth instead of the water and the recipe. It adds a lot more flavor. I also recommend using some hotter peppers if you like a little bit of spice. I personally typically use two serrano peppers instead of the anahyims or I’ll keep in a milder pepper but just add like a small amount of spicy pepper to it

I didn’t have enough red lentils so used some green, too, and it was great!

This started as a camping meal for us, but it has since become a regular favorite meal. Quick, easy, and delicious.

So easy to make, and so tasty! We first made this to take camping, and we loved it so much that we’ve added it to our regular rotation at home. We normally double the recipe so that we can enjoy the leftovers the next day!

I copied this red lentil sloppy joe recipe a few years back, and I really enjoyed it. Then, when my grandson, who is now 3, started eating solid foods, I made again. He absolutely gobbled it down. Now when I ask what he’d like me to make, he says, “red lentil sloppy joes,” and his pronunciation is pretty perfect.
I had tried finding your blog with no success- even searching on the recipe name- but then I found a screenshot in an old photo and found my way back. I’m thrilled and look forward to trying other recipes.

Very good. Excellent contender for gateway vegetarian food for meat lovers. My red lentils were 3 years expired and it still tasted amazing. Thank you for the recipe! ^_^

Decided to make these for a camping trip to the Badlands. I made it ahead of time and at the campsite just had to heat it up. I used whole wheat buns and just did open face sandwiches and served with bing cherries. Delicious!
Like others, I will also use this recipe at home, not just for camping-so good!

Made this for the first time camping and loved it so much that it’s now a regular meal I make in my kitchen! I’m a meat eater most of the time, but honestly this meal is so delicious I don’t even miss the meat!

Very good recipe! Thank you! ^_^

I made the filling at home and reheated it after it had sat for two days in the cooler. It really does keep well.

My only recommendation is to toast the red lentils on their own a bit before adding the water.
