5 minute BBQ Goodness From: Christa's Kitchen

This is going to be a short tasty post. As I write this I’m waiting for my baked potatoes to finish in the microwave. I literally made this dinner in 5 minutes!!! 
You’ll need 3 things: 1 lb of cooked lentils
                                      BBQ sauce
                                      Hamburger buns

Add lentils and bbq sauce to a saucepan over medium heat. Stirring to mix together and heat until warm (3-5 min)
BBQ sauce and lentils mixed and ready for the bun

Well…. maybe you’ll need a few more things if you like coleslaw on a BBQ sandwich. In my house it’s a must!

You’ll need 4 more things: Package of pre-shredded coleslaw cabbage
                                               Mayo( I use Just Mayo it’s dairy free!)    
                                               Vinegar          
                                               Salt, pepper, and sugar
The best non-dairy mayo!

Add cabbage with a ¼ cup mayo, 1 tbsp vinegar, 1 tsp sugar, and salt and pepper to taste and mix until cabbage is coated evenly.  (add more or less of above ingredients according to taste)

Now just add your bbq lentils to your bun and your done!  We make southern style sandwiches by adding coleslaw to them. It’s awesome! We also had baked potatoes on the side.

Lentils are the best way to replace ground beef in any recipe. They have high protein and fiber, where ground beef doesn’t offer any fiber.
Not going to lie, I had 2 of these! 


1 lb lentils: Calories 510 Fat 2g Fiber 35g
1 lb ground beef  (10% fat) Calories 970 Fat 50g Fiber 0g

Lentils are nearly ½ the calories and the fat is no comparison! PLUS all the fiber!
