Note: Great with homemade tortillas or Naan (make from 5 min. dough under bread label)
From Jacqueline T.
Ingredients:
1 bag of dried lentils
1- 1 1/2 C of ground hamburger, browned
1 C tomato puree (or 1-2 cans of whole tomatoes pureed)
1 onion, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
handful cilantro, chopped (2-3 T)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 Tbsp. sugar
Cumin
1-2 stalks of celery,diced
2-3 carrots, grated
salt and pepper to taste
Cook lentils in 8 cups of water in crockpot until soft. (I often rinse them, and soak them in the crockpot overnight and then start cooking them in the morning on low.)
Brown hamburger and onion together and add to lentils after they have cooked for a few hours.
Add remaining ingredients and spices (I prefer to stick the tomato, green pepper, cilantro, garlic, celery and carrots together in a blender first and then add to the crock pot) and simmer to blend flavors.
Serve with grated cheese, fresh limes/ lime juice (our favorite part) and fresh tortillas/ naan.
This recipe makes a lot, I often freeze 1/2 to reheat and eat later.
