Ingredients

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients except for the tomato paste into slow cooker. I often start with 1 ½ of the tomato sauce cans and then add more if desired in the end.
  • Cover and set to HIGH for 4-6 hours or until lentils are tender or on LOW for about 6-8 hours.
  • About 15-30 minutes before serving, add in the tomato paste. This will thicken the chili. If it becomes too thick, add more broth to balance.
  • Serve with your favorite chili toppings!

Notes

You could use precooked lentils to make this recipe much quicker! You would only have to cook for about 2-4 hours.
