Meatless Sloppy Joes

“Eat the plants, not the meat”

Vegan | Great Leftovers | Kid-Friendly |

Are you looking for and easy recipe that has no meat and is easy to clean up afterwards? I have been looking around here and there trying to find an easy recipe that would be worthy enough for my picky family to want to try.

I came across a recipe online and it gave me a great idea. I have always loved to eat lentils growing up, it was one of my favorite grains to eat, I would always ask to eat them as well as potatoes. This brought me to an idea of using lentils to my everyday meals or at least figuring out what else I can create and bring to my dinner table that all will like and enjoy.

This recipe is a mixture of lentils and a great all time favorite recipe combined together that they will all love.

Let’s dive right into the ingredients and recipe.

You will need:

  • 2 Tbsp. Oil
  • 1 Cup Lentils
  • 1 Onion diced
  • 3 Garlic minced
  • 1 Bell pepper diced
  • 1 Tsp. A1 Sauce
  • 1 Cup Broth
  • 1 Cup Tomato sauce
  • 1/2 Cup Ketchup
  • 3 Tbsp. Tomato paste
  • 2 Tbsp. Brown Sugar
  • 1 Tsp Chile Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Mustard
  • 1 Tbsp. Apple Cider Vinegar
  • I Cup Water
  • Salt & Pepper to taste

Lets bring it all together

  1. In a warm skillet add oil, peppers, and onions. Cook for 5-8 minutes until veggies are tender. In go the water, lentils, broth, and garlic.
  2. Bring to a simmer and cover for 25-30 min. Keep an eye on them making sure water does not reduce all the way. Add more water if needed until lentils have reached a tender feel (not mushy)
  3. After lentils are ready and tender, go ahead and mix in tomato sauce, paste, and combine well. Mix in brown sugar, chili, mustard, cider, and water. simmer for 10-15 min on a med/low heat. Lastly, taste for salt and pepper.

Enjoy with your favorite toppings as well as your favorite vegan hamburger bread or a a rice patty, the options are endless.

Spam Hash

Serves 4

Kid’s will love | Easy to make | Make ahead | Freezer Friendly

It doesn’t get any easier than this

I am so excited, you are back here for more easy and delicious recipes from mi casita to your casita!

Today we will be reading a little about our famous hash dish. From all the research I have done I have come to learn there are many ways we have been taught to make this quick and easy dish. Every country has different recipes and so do our states here in America.

A little research on todays dish:

Hash is a dish which has chopped meat, potatoes, and onions. According to my research from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_(food)#:~:text=Hash%20is%20a%20culinary%20dish,house%22%20or%20%22hashery.%22 It states Hash originated as a way to use leftovers. In the 1860’s cheap restaurants were called, “Hash Houses” or “Hashery”. During the Second World War hash had started to get popular in different countries such as Britain, France, and the U.S.A. due to having to ration food, specially fresh meat.

If you look online there are so many different recipes to make hash, It is so great and easy!

Now, why don’t we jump right in.

Here are my ingredients:

  • 1 LG Potato
  • 1 Tomato diced
  • 1/2 Poblano Pepper diced
  • 1/2 Onion diced
  • 1 TBS Oil
  • 1 7oz. Can Spam or 1/2 of 12oz. can
  • Salt & Pepper to taste

Lets get to cooking:

  1. Dice and prep all your ingredients
  2. Heat your pan and add your oil
  3. Add your diced potatoes, cook until nice and tender
  4. When your potatoes are tender add salt & pepper to your taste. Quick note: Spam has salt, taste before you add your salt.
  5. Add your diced spam
  6. Add your diced tomato, poblano peppers, and onions. Cook until your veggies are nice and tender
  7. If you are making a breakfast hash add your scrabbled eggs now

Here you have it a quick and easy hash made with delicious tender veggies and a simple can which is spam. I always say, ” work with what you have”.
