Delicious and Easy Lentils image

Don't let the ease of the recipe fool you - it is fabulous! I got this recipe from my mom and it is one of my absolute favorite lentil dishes (I often double it). It can also easily be made into a vegetarian (omit canadian bacon) or vegan (omit the canadian bacon/cheese and use olive oil in place of butter) dish.

These lentils were a bit bland for my taste. I think I should have added more spices. Other than that, the lentils were cooked perfectly and the recipe was easy to follow.
