    2 1/2 cups of water

    1 cup of dry lentils

    1 6oz can of tomato paste

    2 stalks of celery chopped

    2 cloves of garlic, chopped

    1 bay leaf

    1/4 teaspoon oregano

    1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes

    1 teaspoon of onion powder.





Directions

Brown meat in skillet.

Add beef broth and water to skillet.

Add the rest of the ingredients and stir until tomato paste dissolves.

Bring to boil and then reduce heat.

Cover and simmer for 30 to 45 minutes until vegetables and lentils are tender.

Freezes well.

It is particularly good with Hot Italian Sausage but any kind of ground meat works well. Add additional garlic and red pepper if you use a meat other than sausage.
