  outside.
  
  Heat the olive oil or water in a large pot over medium heat. Add the
  onion, bell pepper, garlic, and chile, if using. Cover, and cook
  until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and their
  juice, water, BBQ sauce, tomato paste, chili powder, sugar, and salt
  & pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover,
  and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  
  Stir in the lentils and beans and cook for 15 minutes to blend the
  flavors. Add a little more water if the mixure becomes too dry. Serve
  hot.
