SLOW COOKER BBQ CHICKPEA SLOPPY JOES

Steps:

• Add all ingredients to the slow cooker. Cook on low for 8 hours or on high 5-6 hours, until the lentils are cooked through and the mixture thickens. Open the slow cooker and, using a potato masher, mash about 1/3 of the filling. Give it a good stir, replace the lid, and let it cook for another 30 minutes or so until thickened.
• Meanwhile, toast the buns. Brush insides with olive oil and place cut-side-up under the broiler in your oven. Broil 30 - 60 seconds until golden.
• Place buns on plate and spoon filling over the top. Add toppings if desired. Serve.
• Leftover filling keeps well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.

CHEF JOEY Z'S TURKEY BACON AND BEAN SOUP FOR TWO

Steps:

• Saute the carrots, celery, onion and bacon.
• Drain the beans of soak water and rinse them until they are no longer scummy.
• Put the sauted veggies and bacon into the crock pot.
• Fill the pot with water within 2 inches from the top of the crock.
• *NOTE*: Do not use anything with tomato in it if you decide to use soup broth instead of water as tomato inhibits the cooking of the beans.
• Depending on the beans it should take about 6-8 hours to cook.
• Once all the ingredients are soft, add the tomato sauce, salt and pepper. Let cook for another 1/2 hours.
• Bon Apetit.
