This was actually really good. Everyone loved it. For the diced tomatoes I used some with a little jalapena pepper in it and it was great.

I was looking for a recipe for which I had all the ingredients in my cabinet and found this little gem. These are the changes I made: used ground beef and beef broth, used 2 T chili powder and 1/2 T cumin, added 1/8 tsp. red pepper, 1/2 tsp. liquid smoke, 1 tsp. oregano and omitted the onion (picky eaters). The dish didn't take very long and tasted great. This was a wonderful dish to make when I didn't want to go to the grocery store. I'll probably make this again, but it is more likely that I will stick with regular chili.

This chile was just okay the night I made it. But the following day, it was perfect. The only change I made was I used 1 cup of lentils instead of 2. I suggest making this recipe a day ahead because it was really delicious the next day.

There is nothing horrible about this. It is just slightly bland and not as good as I expected based on its high rating and rave reviews.

I've never cooked anything with lentils before. So I was pleasantly suprised how delicious this turned out. Very low fat (5pts per serving) and freezes great! Will make again and again. The only alteration I made was using "italian style" ground turkey.

I used ground turkey breast which I liked because it's much healthier for you than the standard beef chili, but I was expecting to be blown away after reading the reviews. Maybe scaling back on the lentils would allow the chili flavor to come through more. It made a big pot and I froze some for a cold day. I don't think I will be craving this anytime soon.

This recipe was very tasty. I made it like the directions said although did not have quite enough chicken broth so added what I had. It was probably thicker than it should have been but very hearty and tasty. My husband loved it too. Will definitly make again.

This is a great base recipe. I made a few alterations for my family...and it came out delicious. I added twice the meat...1/2 the lentils...i can of corn.. 1tbls each, chives, celery seed, and oregano. I also added three shots of hot sauce. Even though I made a few changes, this recipe is a great guideline.

This is really delicious!!! It gets better the next day. By accident I put 2 tablespoons of chili powder...and I also put a heaping Tablespoon of cumin. I also added some smoky Spanish paprika which really tasted yummy and I threw in a cube of Knorrs Chicken with Tomato bullion. I used three small cans of chicken broth and a whole bag of dried lentils. This is so good. I serve it over brown rice.

I have never cooked with lentils before, we had a lot of turkey and needed to us it up. We used chunks of turkey meat instead of ground. This tasted very similiar to your standard chili even though there were no beans and no beef. It was good. Very middle of the road as far as chili goes, though. Use the turkey and lentils, but spice up as you would real chili.

This is a great recipe. I used French lentils, which give it a smokier taste. I also used fire roasted tomatoes, for additional flavor, added garlic powder, and sauteed the onion first. My husband ate it for both lunch and breakfast the next day, he loved it so much!

Was a bit unsure how this would all go together. It was fantastic. As other reviewers suggested, I cooked onion first with a bit of garlic. Addes a tab bit more chili powder. Will be a staple from now on!

Really good! Wasn't sure what it would taste like, but even my husband liked it, and he doesn't like any of the ingredients. I cooked the onions with the turkey, next time I may add some garlic and maybe more pepper, needed just a little more spice.

We liked this tasty variation on traditional chili. Super healthy, too! I sauteed the onions in a little olive oil before adding them to the chili and also substituted chicken boullion cubes and appropriate amounts of water since I was out of broth.

This was really good & super easy to make. I like my chili a little bit spicier, and I had to add a little salt (to taste) at the end. I served this with shredded cheddar cheese & sour cream. I will definitely make this again!

This recipe is a keeper. I was so thrilled to actually have all of the ingredients for this recipe in my kitchen! The only thing I didn't have was the can of chickn broth, which I supstituted for 6 cups of water and 2 vegetable boullion cubes. It turned out great!

I was looking for a way to incorporate more lentils into my diet and found this recipe. It is so good. I froze the rest, and it reheated very well.
