Ingredients

  • 2 cups dry green lentils rinsed
  • 1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 (15oz) can petite diced tomatoes
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 medium yellow onion diced
  • 1 bell pepper (any color) diced
  • 2 stalks celery chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to crockpot and stir.
  • Cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours.

Notes

  • You can use any color of lentils in this recipe, I generally use green lentils because they seem to hold up their texture better than others.
  • Serve your chili with cornbread, cheese and crackers, crusty bread, or your other favorite chili accompaniment. 
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight glass container in the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days.
