  • 2 medium onions, chopped (1 cup)
  • 2 medium carrots, diced (1 cup)
  • 1 can (14 1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes with roasted garlic, undrained
  • 12 ounces smoked turkey kielbasa, cut lengthwise into fourths, then sliced
  • 1/3 cup uncooked barley
  • 2 cans (14 1/2 ounces each) ready-to-serve beef broth
  • 3 1/2 cups water
  • Dijon mustard, if desired
  • Prepared horseradish, if desired

Steps

  • 1
    Mix lentils, onions, carrots, tomatoes, kielbasa and barley in 4-quart Crock-Pot slow cooker. Stir in broth and water.
  • 2
    Cover and cook on low heat setting 9 to 10 hours or until lentils and vegetables are tender. Top each serving with dollop of mustard and horseradish.

  • Keep the lid on! Removing the lid allows heat to escape and delays the cooking time by 15 to 20 minutes. Be sure to check for doneness just at the minimum cooking time.
