I just love my crockpot. I can make my food in the morning and when I get home it is ready to eat. This is a great recipe. I made it last week and it is a keeper. Hope you enjoy it. It will be great to make before you go out to work in the yard this spring. Did someone say spring had arrived? Crockpot Lentils and Sausage 1 (16 ounce) package dry lentils 1 (16 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained 2 (14 ounce) cans beef broth 3 cups water 1 carrot, chopped 2 pounds kielbasa (Polish) sausage, cut into 1/2 inch pieces 1 stalk celery, chopped Rinse and drain lentils, but do not soak. In a slow cooker, stir together the lentils, tomatoes, broth, water, carrot, sausage, and celery. Cover, and cook on High for 3 hours, or Low for 6 to 7 hours. Stir well before serving.

Hearty and wonderful! This is almost the same recipe that I use. I add an onion and some garlic to mine! I use the Healthy Choice or some other lower-fat -type kielbasa in mine! I make a pan of cornbread and we are good to go!

Well, now I only need the sausage and I can make this. Hubby loves kielbasa and will eat it often if I let him.

I love lentils and I do lentils and sausages quite often ... it is very filling and healthy I will have to try with the celery though because I usually use onions ... and you know that you can add some porc meat in there as well ... it makes it yummy and the meat gets so tender ... That is a great winter recipe
