That is why I like them too Saph.The biggest thing for me with the crock pot is I can prep it the night before, throw it on in the morning, and have dinner ready when I get home from work.
I just made this yesterday. I prepped everything the night before aside from the lentils. I had everything in a mixing bowl in the fridge. In the morning I dumped the mixing bowl into the crockpot and then rinsed and added the lentils. I spent less than 5 minutes in the morning setting it up. When I got home from work the house smelled great and dinner was ready.
1 (16 ounce) package dry lentils
1 (16 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
28oz beef broth
21oz water
1 carrot, chopped
2 pounds kielbasa (Polish) sausage, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
4 stalks 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 setting for 3 hours, or Low setting for 6 to 7 hours.
Stir well before serving.
