Wow, thought I'd made up an original recipe until I did a search! I used spiced chili powder (which has oregano, garlic, cumin and mild chili powder), California chili powder (mild and sweet), threw in a whole jalapeno and some pepper flakes, and two (small) cans of tomato sauce instead of the paste. It was so thick and had such great flavor and texture. The hubby loved it, and we have been snacking on it since dinner last night. I would have thrown in another jalapeno (or two!), but the hubby can't take a lot of spice. He thought it was perfect with the one. This is the first time I've cooked with raw lentils and I could not believe how easy it was and how good it turned out!

I think I would call this more of a stew than a chili. Following other reviewers' suggestions, I halved the recipe other than the tomatoes. It was just a touch sour for my taste; I would probably follow it more strictly next time, but add more chili powder so that it tastes like chili. My husband loved it the way I did it, though.

This recipe was a great to work off of. we love tomatoes, so I halved the recipe except for the tomatoes and paste. I think that next time I will add even more tomatoes and carrots. i also used diced as opposed to crushed tomatoes. I might even think about adding other vegetables.

You definitely need a large pot! I started out doing what the recipe called for, but then I tasted it half way through and it was bland so I added more spice. I also added mushrooms with the veggies. This batch made enough for a couple days and two tubs to freeze for the future.

WOW!!!!!! Such incredible taste! I have never left a review before, but I just had to this time. This is a very tasty dish, I poured it over white rice, and it was excellent in every way and I'm not a lentils person!

amazing. I tried this recipe when I was trying some healthier alternatives for myself and now it is a regular on the houshold menu. Vegtarian and confirmed 'meat eaters' raved about it. My kids had seconds and I can serve it to my vegan friends. I put all the ingredients in a crock pot for at least 6 hours, adding a bit more cumin powder and carrots. A keeper!

This is FANTASTIC. My only complaint is that it makes such a huge amount. Next time, I'll have to cut the recipe in half or even in thirds. Great for freezing, though.

Missing a lot of flavor! I added a ton more chili powder. My suggestion would be to use this as a base and add veggies you like - zuhinni, red pepper would be a start!

I made some changes to this recipe, but I loved the end result. I omitted the oil and butter. I used about 1 1/2 cups of onions and 3 minced garlic cloves. I used 1/2 lb. of lentils and 1/2 lb. of lean ground turkey, and I used diced tomatoes instead of crushed. I didn't adjust the spices at all, but it could have used a little more heat. I will make my version again. It was really yummy, and weight watchers- friendly, too.

Great recipe!! I added double the chili powder and it spiced it up to perfection. My husband loved it so much he brought it to work for some co-workers. Everybody loved it!! Taking "Beano" first is always a good idea with any kind of bean.:)

This was okay, but it needed more flavor. My husband didn't like it at all.
