Directions
Country Hamburger Lentil Soup – Crock-Pot, I created this on a busy hockey weekend – I wanted something warm to come home to after spending a long day at the hockey rink This was just the ticket and I got to clean out my cupboards too!, 1 I didn’t have diced tomatoes so I substituted a 28 ounce can of crushed tomatoes 2 used one pound of ground beef 3 I simmered it on the stove for 2-1/2 hours 4 I added an extra cup of water and an extra teaspoon of beef bouillon 5 I added about one cup of V8 and a few dashes of black pepper for more flavor , I didn’t have enough diced tomatoes so I substituted a 28 oz can of crushed tomatoes used one pound of ground beef because I didn’t want to think up something to do with the other half a pound I simmered mine on the stove for two and a half hours because I started it too late to do it in the crock pot After simmering for awhile the consistency was a bit thicker than I wanted so I added another cup of water and another teaspoon of beef bouillon I still wasn’t quite satisfied with the flavor so I added some V8 (maybe about a cup’s worth?) and a few dashes of pepper I only used 1 bay leaf this time so next time maybe I’ll add two and I’ll definitely try cooking it in the crock pot to allow more time for the flavors to meld I saw one reviewer mentioned using Italian sausage instead of ground beef and I think that sounds like a great idea If I do that I might even be able to get my picky siblings to try this
