Lentil and Polish Sausage Casserole image

We like lentils, and this recipe is fast, easy and cheap. I bought the sausage for 99 cents at the local Canned Foods Warehouse (aka Rainbow). You can use hot sausage or mild. I usually make this with half red and half brown lentils for the texture, but you can use all of one kind. I imagine this could be made in a crockpot, I just haven't done it. Serve with a fresh salad.

1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 cup lentils

Steps:

  • Saute the onions in the olive oil until brown (about 10 minutes).

  • Add the water, bay leaf, salt (at least 1 teaspoon or to taste) and pepper. Stir to combine.
