This Beef Lentil Broccoli Stew Recipe in A Crock Pot is certainly a mouthful to say…… But it’s also a very hearty and delicious dish! I love the combination of ingredients, and it’s very filling and enjoyable on a fall evening.

Ok, so these last few days have been pretty busy, since I’m new to the Orange County area, I am trying to find myself a full time job, so a lot of time has been spent submitting applications, perfecting resumes and cover letters etc…..Sadly, I’m not yet making money as a full time blogger for this site, so I need to find something to pay the bills! See those ads on the side of this page? If you really like me, click on them. haha

So since I haven’t had much time these past few days, I’ve been using my Crock Pot, because that way I don’t have to spend the extra hour each day cooking. So here is another Crock Pot Recipe, hope you enjoy it. It’s pretty heart-healthy because of the lentils and broccoli 🙂

1 Crock Pot or Slow Cooker

1 Cup Broccoli, cut into very small pieces

1 Cup lentils, washed and drained

1/2 pound Ground Beef (90% lean variety)

Dash chili powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper

Directions

You can also add beef broth to the stew if you are looking for a meatier taste!

This stew comes out very thick, so if you have some left over, you can use it as a filling for tacos the next day, which is equally as delicious!
