I searched and could not find a review....Also, cooked on low instead of high......

How long did you let it cook on low?

Sounds like an interesting recipe, but I'm wondering if I need to try it on a weekend when I'm able to let it cook for a shorter time period.

Thanks,

would it be a problem cutting the recipe in half?

Thanks

I halved the recipe myself...11 servings is just too much

[Kayaksoup]

I just wanted to add that although I halved the recipe, i did not half the beef stock. My work carries it in 16 oz sizes, so I used the full 16 ounces and reduced the water accordingly

Thank you, glad to hear I can cut it in half. I have never made lentils and bought some a long time ago and was just thinking, now what do I do with them.

Oh thank you for posting! I have been using my crock pot about 2-3 times per week and looking for more recipes! This one is right up my alley.
