LENTIL-VEGETABLE-KIELBASA SLOW COOKER STEW



Lentil-Vegetable-Kielbasa Slow Cooker Stew image

I adapted this from the "Fix-it and Forget-It Lightly" cookbook. The original recipe is great, but my carnivore husband suggested adding the kielbasa, which I did in the last hour of slow cooking. I also threw in extra veggies, both fresh and canned. This is one of those recipes you don't have to worry about measuring the veggies...in fact, add whatever you fancy!
