Recipe

In medium saucepan, combine lentils and water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 10 minutes.

In 3 1/2 to 4-quart slow cooker, combine celery, carrots, onions, ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce and lentils with water; mix well.

Cover; cook on low setting for 10 to 12 hours.

Just before serving, stir in vinegar. Spoon 1/2 cup filling into each toasted bun.

Healthy Hint: Lentils are an inexpensive protein source; they are high in fiber, complex carbohydrates, and B vitamins.

Kitchen Tip: Use a food processor to make quick work of chopping the vegetables for these Veggie Joes. Two carrots, two stalks of celery and two medium onions yield the measured amounts.
