1-Pot Red Lentil Chili

Next time, we will add mushrooms.

A regular go to for batch prep. There is always plenty to freeze and have for back up.

If making homemade chili powder, takes way longer than time quoted, but makes huge portion! Use the EXACT portion of cumin, no more. Required a little more water than called for. Added extra 2 tsp chili powder blend, top with fresh lime, cilantro & red pepper flakes.

This meal is absolutely delicious. I took a few things from the recipe though. Instead of water I used vegetable broth for extra flavor. Also, I use quinoa, instead of rice. I didn't have a pesto and mortar to make the jalapeno paste , so I just finally chopped up the jalapeno, and garlic. I added a second red pepper, and I didn't use the sugar, but agave nectar, instead. Outside of that, everything else is pretty much the recipe. This recipe is a must try.

Super yummy and easy recipe, I can just let it cook and get on with something else. It was a bit bland for my liking so I added more salt :)

It’s chili so don’t need to add all of it Got recipe from Sarah McMurtrie

LOVED it with these changes: added at least 4x the amount of cumin and paprika (and nothing spicy bc kids eating it), black and mixed beans instead of kidney beans because kidney beans are mealy and awful, cooked it for a bit longer than indicated I believe

Good. I added a bit more spices at the end; chipotle, dried herbs, used a bit of beef bullion also added a small can of mild fire roasted chillies.

Easy, quick, tasty chili. Will make again. Nice healthy option. Used half chili, half cayenne powder.

The homemade chili powder made a difference. So much flavor!

Tasty with greek yogurt and sriracha
