Cass B Chickpea

Using a slow cooker really makes dinner easy. You just put all of the ingredients in and let it cook while you're at work, out, or whatever you want. This easy slow cooker red lentil chili is definitely one of my favorites. It is the epitome of easy and tastes so delicious. It's also full of protein and veggies! This picture does not do it justice.  To make this recipe zero waste, I like to buy the beans dry. I soak them in water the night before I plan to cook (so you do have to think ahead), and simmer them for 1.5 hours in the morning. Then I start the slow cooker. This works for me because I usually cook on weekends when I'm home all day and can cook the beans before the dish. If you need to have your beans ready in the morning, then make sure to get them cooked beforehand, like have them soak the day before when you are out and cook them the night before. The specific quantities and instructions are at the bottom of the post. What goes in this recipe - bell pep
