While still low in fat, but high in fiber and protein, Lentils differ from many other dry beans because they have a much shorter cooking time. Hurst’s® HamBeens® Confetti Lentils look great in the package, and taste even better when following this very simple recipe.

Ingredients
- 1- Package Hurst's® HamBeens® Confetti Lentils
- 1 lb. Ground Beef
- 1- Cup Diced Onion
- 1- Cup Diced Carrot
- 1- Cup Diced Celery
- 2- Can Diced Tomato
- 2-3 Cloves Chopped Garlic
- 1-2 Tbs. Butter or Olive Oi (for sautéing)
- 8-10 Cups Water
Cooking Directions ( reviews )
- Dice the carrot, onion, and celery into bite-size (1/4″) pieces. This mixture is known as a Mirepoix. Also mince the garlic cloves.
- Heat Olive Oil (or butter) over Med-High until pan is hot. Add the chopped veggies until they begin to soften, probably around 5-7 minutes.
- Add the ground beef and sauté until meat is browned. Then add the cans of diced tomatoes and stir to combine.
- Stir in Hurst’s seasoning packet and continue to simmer.
- Place the dry lentils in a colander or sieve and rinse with cold water thoroughly. Check for any stones or other unwanted debris that may be present.
- Add the lentils and 8 cups of water to pot. Bring to a slow boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 1- 1.5 hours.
- The lentils and vegetables should be completely tender, and some of the water should be reduced. If you prefer a more “brothy” soup, add water or beef stock until you reach desired consistency.
- Serve with rice or some warm cornbread… ENJOY!
