Sloppy Joe Baked Potatoes

Ingredients

⅓ cup dried lentils
2 russet potatoes
⅓ green bell pepper, diced
3 teaspoons oil
3 Tablespoons onion, diced
3 Tablespoons carrot, diced
⅓ (15 ounce) can of tomato sauce
1 teaspoon low sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon chili powder

Instructions

Cook lentils according to package directions.
While the lentils are cooking, scrub potatoes clean, pierce with a fork and microwave on high for 10 minutes, flipping once, until tender or bake them ahead of time in a 400-degree oven for 1 hour until soft.
Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat.
Add the onion, carrot, and bell pepper, and cook, stirring, until tender (about 3 minutes).
Add the tomato sauce with the remaining ingredients and cook on medium-low heat for about 10 minutes.
When lentils are cooked, gently mix them into the tomato mixture and cook for about 5 minutes on low heat.
Cut a slit into each baked potato, squeeze potato to make an opening, and top with the tomato/lentil mixture.
