How to Make Country Hamburger Lentil Soup Crock Pot

  1. Brown 1 lb ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, draining off any excess grease.
  2. In a 4-5 quart slow cooker, combine the browned ground beef, 1 cup brown or green lentils (rinsed), 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 4 cups beef broth, 1 large onion (chopped), 2 carrots (chopped), 2 celery stalks (chopped), 1 tsp dried thyme, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1 bay leaf, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  3. Cook on low for 12 hours or on high for 6 hours, or use a combination (e.g., 5 hours on low, then 4 hours on high).
  4. Before serving, remove the bay leaf.
  5. Enjoy! Leftovers are even better the next day.
