Delicious and Easy Lentils image

Don't let the ease of the recipe fool you - it is fabulous! I got this recipe from my mom and it is one of my absolute favorite lentil dishes (I often double it). It can also easily be made into a vegetarian (omit canadian bacon) or vegan (omit the canadian bacon/cheese and use olive oil in place of butter) dish.

I'm a big fan of lentils and this recipe didn't disappoint. The lentils were cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful. I especially loved the addition of the cumin and coriander. Will definitely be making this again!

This recipe was a bit disappointing. The lentils were overcooked and the sauce was bland. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I've made this recipe several times and it always turns out great. It's a great way to use up leftover lentils. I like to add a bit of chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.

This recipe was easy to follow and the lentils were cooked perfectly. However, I found the sauce to be a bit too salty for my taste. Next time, I'll use less salt.

This recipe was easy to follow and the lentils were cooked perfectly. However, I found the sauce to be a bit too spicy for my taste. Next time, I'll use less chili powder.

I made this recipe for my family and they all loved it. Even my picky kids ate it without complaint. The lentils were soft and flavorful, and the sauce was the perfect balance of sweet and savory.
