Sloppy Lentils

Just in time for the Fourth of July!  This is a vegetarian version of a classic American meal!  The kids LOVE this and I would highly recommend trying it!  There are two versions of this.  If you click on the picture, it will take you to one version and if you read the bottom recipe that is the other version.  I personally prefer the recipe linked to the picture.  But, you can try them both and see what works for your family!  Bon Appetite!
