I love lentil bites. They are super easy to make, freeze well for later, and can be eaten alone, with pasta, or as a sandwich (like this one!) I occasionally whip up a variation of lentil meatballs but for this sandwich, I followed Sara's recipe. The result is a moist meatball that soaks up the hot sauce. I drizzled a bit of ranch on the sandwich but I've also melted blue cheese on top before (and yes, if you like blue cheese, this is the way to go!) I would also recommend throwing a few caramelized onions on the sandwich.

*This sandwich works equally as well with bbq sauce!
This recipe makes me so happy...I've been needing more healthy ways to get my buffalo sauce fix!
I never had lentil meatballs but I'm going to try to make them this week, maybe add some chopped up kale too. Can't wait - thanks!
I've been fantasizing about a good veggie meatball recently and I totally forgot about Sara's recipe! Shame on me. Love that you've infused it with buffalo flavor...which is one of my favorites!
HI, what is Frank’s Red hot?
Hi Pegah, it's a type of hot sauce.
Lentil meatballs are a great idea. I LOVE lentils!
This looks great! One of the things I miss most from my non-vegetarian days is meatballs! I'll have to try this out!

love the idea of lentil meatballs! I'll have to give this a shot!
Damn lady, I can't believe I'm about to say this about fake meatballs, but those are beautiful! Can't wait to try 'em.
I've made Sara's lentil meatballs numerous times + absolutely LOVE them. My husband will be all overrr this buffalo sandwich variation. Thanks, Erin!
Erin, these meatballs are delicious! I´ve made them several times, and can´t believe how easy and tasty they are. My kids love them!
Made this for dinner tonight and it was delicious! Thanks Erin for another fabulous recipe!
So I made these and they were delicious, but they were very wet so I ended up making them patties and not meatballs. They had a texture almost like hummus. Wonder what I did wrong...But I guess it doesn't matter because they tasted great.
This is my new favorite recipe. I am never a fan of faux meat anything really, but this sandwich was next level amazing. I used blue cheese crumbles instead of dressing and added some cooked spinach to brighten it up/up my veggie intake. Wrapped it all up in a whole wheat pita pocket.
To say this is making it into my monthly rotation is an understatement!
NOTE to people making the recipe: The lentil balls seemed a little wet when I was rolling them, but firmed right up when I baked them.
