After last of making sausage and potatoes in the crockpot and the sausage basically turning to mush, I was so afraid to add the sausage for this recipe. So I decided to cook/brown it in a pan, and then add it in just before the lentils were done cooking. I actually really liked this recipe. It was so simple to make and it made a huge batch so I'll have a lot of leftovers for this week.
12 to 14 ounces sliced kielbasa sausage (I
used organic chicken sausage)
2 cups brown lentils
2 carrots (diced)
1 celery rib (diced)
1 diced onion
3 minced garlic cloves
15-ounce can diced tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
2 cups brown lentils
2 carrots (diced)
1 celery rib (diced)
1 diced onion
3 minced garlic cloves
15-ounce can diced tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
For best flavor, brown kielbasa. Set aside (you will add this at the end).
In a crockpot add the lentils, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, diced tomatoes and Italian seasoning, along with 2 quarts of water or stock. Stir to combine and cook on low for 4-5 hours. Add more water or chicken stock if needed (I needed to add it TWICE, so you might want to really watch this one).

About 30 min before it is done cooking, add
the cooked/browned sausage and let the sausage re-heat and the flavors
blend.
