Vegan Hungarian Goulash

Sometimes when I go over to a friend's house, she has Hungarian Goulash cooking in her crockpot and it always smells so good.  So I finally got the recipe for the sauce and just figured out how many lentils I needed to equal the amount of meat she used.  My family loves this dish and we hope you do, too!  We eat it over rice, but you could eat it over pasta just as easily.

Vegan Hungarian Goulash 
Serves 6-8

• 2 cups dry brown lentils, picked over and rinsed
• 3 cups broth
• 1 8oz box mushroom, chopped
• 1 lg sweet or yellow onion, chopped fine
• 1 can fire roasted tomatoes, with juice
• 8 oz can tomato sauce
• 1/4 cup white vinegar
• 2 TBLS worcestershire sauce
• 2 TBLS brown sugar
• 2 tsp each: onion powder, paprika
• 1 tsp each: dry mustard, garlic powder

-- Dump it all in the crockpot and cook on high for 6 hours until the lentils are well cooked and soft
(You can also use a 15oz can of tomato sauce and decrease the broth to 2 cups)
