Black Bean Lentil Stew

This meal was created by total happenstance. I wanted a crockpot dinner but didn’t have a plan so I worked with what I had. And it worked. My husbands words: “Oh this is good. It’s not to tomatoey. I like it.” He’s weird about tomatoes. So it passed the test and now have another crockpot recipe to add to my collection. This made for a yummy one dish meal and I topped mine with a dollop of low fat…
