Ingredients
1 lg yellow onion
1 lb of bacon
2 cloves of garlic (or 2-3 TBS of garlic powder, whichever you prefer)
2 14.5 oz cans Italian style Stewed Tomatoes
16 oz bag of lentils
5 cups water
2 beef boullion cubes (or 2 cups of beef broth)
Chop bacon into small pieces. Brown bacon in large pot, dice onion and garlic very small and cook with bacon. Add 5 cups of water (I did not drain the bacon first, but you may if you like.) Add rinsed lentils. Add juice from cans of Tomatoes, smash tomatoes into smaller chunks. Add salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 30 minutes. All done!! Very easy and not a lot of mess. Enjoy on those cool fall nights! Makes a great Sabbath prep meal too, since it makes a large pot of lentils. Blessings to you!!!
