  1. Put pinto beans and lentils into two separate pots of water, bring both to a boil, turn off heat, cover, and let stand 1 hour.

  2. Drain and rinse beans.

  3. Prepare a large skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-low heat, cook and stir mushrooms, onion, and bell pepper in hot skillet until onion is soft and mushrooms are darkened, 25 to 30 minutes. Spread mushroom mixture onto a platter to cool.

Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate 8 hours to overnight.

Recipe Note

These won't make anyone think that they are real sausage, but they are real tasty! I like to freeze them and take them out one at time to make a quick, microwaved breakfast sandwich that I can eat in the car.
