I've made this several times changing it with whatever I have on hand. I made a vegan version today! I used one package of Trader Joe's meatless meatballs instead of the sausage. I microwave them about one minute to make them soft enough to cut in half and then put them in with everything else. I used vegetable broth instead of beef. The meatballs have so much flavor it didn't seem to matter. I used canned tomatoes and carrots but didn't drain them as I usually don't have enough liquid. Very easy!

This wasn't me or my husbands cup of tea but my toddler loved it (I made it really for him because he loves lentils). I used green lentils and pork sausagemeat (which I browned before I added it to the crock pot) as polish sausage is hard to come by in my neck of the woods. Not enough veggies I thought either. I will be making this for my toddler again but I will scale down the recipe, use more veggies and will use split red lentils instead of green lentils - they just taste nicer, cook quicker and work better in casserole type recipes.

We enjoyed this very much! I used French green lentils, only 1 lb. of (turkey) kielbasa and reduced the water by 1c. The results were delicious. We will definitely make this again!

This was really delicious! This has defintely made its way into our dinner rotation. I have tried different lentil recipes with ham, and by far the sausage makes a difference. What an easy dinner to make!

I had never tried Lentils before until I made this recipe. It turned out very good, and I used super spicy sausage to give it a kick. This recipe is so easy...just throw all your ingredients in the slow cooker before work and it's ready when you get home!

An absolutely delicious recipe. I used Italian sausage (cooked and sliced) instead of kielbasa, added some chopped onion and a few cloves of garlic while I browned the sausage, upped the carrots, tossed in two diced potatoes and added bouillion to the water. It cooked MUCH faster than the recipe stated - the lentils were tender after about 4 hours on low (when I added tomato sauce instead of tomatoes).

This is a really great recipe for those who love lentils. It took a little longer than 3 hours in my slow cooker on high, but its still great! We usually add garlic, potatoes, onion, carrots and a dash of chili powder in addition to the ingredients.

Considering this recipe was my first attempt at making lentils, the experience was just ok. I probably wouldn't make the recipe again. Maybe I've discovered I just don't like lentils.
