      Terrific recipe. that said, I did make a couple of changes: Used vegetable broth instead of water and bullion and cooked in my pressure cooker for about 15 min on high. Easy simple delicious. this would be highly adaptable to seasoning s for other cuisines: greek for moussaka, Indian curry mix for samosas, meat for English shepherd's pie. etc. thanks for a great jumping off point. I'll be using this often. Thanks Judy in WA

      This is the same recipe that I use, but mine is out of the Taste of Home cookbook, and is cooked on the stove. My version you saute the onion garlic, lentils, in a little bit of oil. Then you add the broth and simmer for about 30 min.

      We loved this. I have made it both in the crock pot and on the stove top and it turned out wonderfully each time. Thanks for a fantastic recipe :)

      Absolutely fantastic!! I didn't add oil to the mix and didn't really think it needed it. It was not a "stick it in the crock and forget about it" kind of recipe, though. I tended to it often, stirring and adding water so that it wouldn't stick. I'm not sure if that was a result of the lack of oil. It came out awesome, though, in about 7 hours. What a great recipe for game day tacos!

      Great texture and lots of flavor -- this is the taco "meat" I've been looking for! My mind is whirling at all the things I can use this in, but our first try was on tostadas and it was fabulous. One word of caution - mine cooked completely in 2.5 hours on high, so you might want to check it periodically the first time you make it.

      I was asked to bring a main dish to a potluck where I knew that several vegetarians would be. This was a big hit with them and with many of the meat eaters also. I used frontier natural foods beef less broth powder and no sodium vegetable broth powder in place of the vegetable bullion cubes.

      Pretty good, took longer in the crockpot than I expected. Thanks!

      Tasty! I added half a package of Lipton onion soup for extra flavor. I cooked it all on low for 8 hours and it's done and almost mushy. Thanks!

      This was my 1st time working w/ lentils--I think I needed to cook them longer (I did this on my stovetop per the Taste of Home recipe--which is exactly like this). So they were kind of "crunchy" LOL but the taste was pretty good. A little TOO spicy for me! Served it burrito style w/ low fat cheese & fat free sour cream.

      I personally wasn't totally crazy about this recipe but that may just be me (I'm not a huge fan of cumin). However, my boyfriend LOVED it so I gave it four stars.

      I have picky kids and they gobbled this up. My little 3 year old said he didn't want to eat it, then he tried it and said yummy. He wanted more! Thank you for the recipe!

      This was great. I substituted low sodium chicken broth because I am not a vegetarian but I enjoy the dishes. I also wanted to cut down on the sodium in the bouillon. My kids loved it and I didn't even have to twist my young one's arm to eat it and it satisfied his insatiable lust for chili cheese fries. Hooray!

      I've made this twice now. I think I made it on the stove the first time because I'd gotten started too late so I didn't want to rate it without trying it again. Love the versitility. This time I added a pepito green salsa but less because it was SUPER spicy. Then I stirred in a can of diced tomatoes. Used vegetable broth for the water/cubes. Turned out great. The lentils are still recognizeable though so it won't trick anyone!

      TASTES TERRIFIC, true! As past reviewer suggested, used crock pot on high for four hours too! Next time, will make on low, easy to do, Also think liquid would not evaporate as quickly too, Honestly, do not think 12 serves this would make, But is IS healthy for goodness sake!

      I am currently eating this! with baby spinach and sharp cheddar cheese. It is very good. My husband and I had it last night for supper, and he said I could make it again. :) Best reaction I could hope for, as when he found out I was trying several meatless recipes this week, he asked "what, are we going to start juicing too?" And then asked how much the PureStar Air Purifier was. :-D As I was explaining my reasoning for making meatless meals (cheaper, healthier) he said "This is healthy?" So it obviously tastes good. I cooked it on high for 9 hours, and next time I will put it on low and add more water right away. The edges were blackened, and my crockpot is still soaking. We ate the middle portion, and our dogs loved the edges! :) Thank you for an easy way to add lentils to our diet!
