Vegetarian Sloppy Joes

I realize I'm probably going to get some of you thinking "No Way!" on this one, but let me tell you, it was great!  It even got a big thumbs up from the meat-eating hubby and the picky kiddos had clean plates.  I served it up on buns with salty chips alongside (if you're really cool, you put the chips right into the sandwich!).  This would be a great vegetarian option for summer BBQs.  Meat eaters could enjoy it as a side (it's a lot like baked beans).

Ingredients:
-2 c broth
-1 c dried lentils, rinsed
-1/2 c onion, diced
-2 cloves garlic, minced
-1/2 tsp salt
-1/2 c ketchup
-1/4 c honey
-2 Tbs brown sugar
-1 Tbs mustard
-1 Tbs cider vinegar
-Hamburger buns

1. Combine broth, lentils, onion, garlic, and salt in the crock pot.  Cover and cook on low for 2 1/2 hours, until lentils are tender.
2.  Whisk together ketchup, honey, brown sugar, mustard, and vinegar.  Add to crock pot.  Cover and cook on low for another 30 minutes.
3.  Serve on buns with pickles, chips, or any other bbq favorite!
