If you love using your crockpot as much as I do, this is a great recipe for you! Lentil Chili. This is really a toss in and go type of recipe. You can even put everything together the night before (except the lentils) and then just turn on the next morning before you leave (don’t forget to add the lentils in the morning though!) That would be a fatal flaw in your Lentil Chili meal.
So lets get started…
Add lentils, celery, onions, garlic, and bell peppers together in a large crockpot.
Add spices, cumin, coriander, ginger, salt and pepper.
Add vegetable broth and 1 can of tomato sauce. Not sure why I added the chopped oregano here instead of in the previous step…who knows. Just add it at some point. 🙂 Stir until everything is really well combined.
Turn the crockpot on high and cook for at least 6 hours. Add extra water or broth if the lentils are still crunchy. Serve when lentils are soft, but not squishy, unless that’s how you like your lentils, and in that case, go right ahead 🙂

Enjoy!
