Step 1
Start by layering the beef, lentils, kidney beans, salsa, and Cheddar cheese into your slow cooker. Set it to cook on low and let it go for about 4 to 6 hours, or if you’re short on time, crank it up to high and cook for 2 to 4 hours. Once everything is nice and bubbly and the cheese has melted, give it a good stir to mix all the flavors together. Then, it’s ready to serve—perfect for scooping up with your favorite chips!
Why you’ll love it
This dish is packed with flavor and nutrition, making it a perfect meatless option. It’s easy to prepare and slow cooking helps the lentils absorb all the spices, resulting in a hearty and comforting spread. Plus, it’s great for gatherings or a cozy night in.
How to serve
Serve warm with tortilla chips for dipping, or use as a filling for wraps and tacos. It also pairs well with fresh salsa, guacamole, or a dollop of sour cream for added creaminess.
Storage & leftovers
Allow the spread to cool completely before transferring to an airtight container. It will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For longer storage, freeze in portions and thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
