Made this for the hubby and I and realized it had eight servings! Whoops. So I froze 1/2 the the lentil mix. What I liked about this meal is that is it's easy on the wallet. I used medium salsa to kick it up a notch- and it really delivered. I was worried that I didn't boil the lentils long enough, so I added the veggie broth (about 1/4 cup) during the final stages. Overall, really happy with how it turned out! Yum! I just shared some of the leftovers with my co-workers today and they both wanted the recipe. :)

I have made this receipe many times. Makes a large batch. Freezes well. Good dish for a vegetarian and as a base for shepard's pie, or 'sloppy joe'

This dish is fabulous. There is a lot of room for modifying the ingredients too. Very satisfying and healthy - definitely a keeper!
