Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, carrot, pepper and 2 tbsp ketchup and cook until soft. About 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the lentils, oregano, and 4 cups water. Bring to a boil and cook 5 minutes, then reduce heat and simmer until lentils are tender, 35 to 40 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Personal Notes:
My lentils only took about 25 minutes to cook. Taste for seasoning often. I ended up adding more ketchup and Worcestershire plus a tbsp of brown sugar for taste. Excellent source of protein and tastes better than manwich!!
