Boston Baked Lentils

I have made this recipe several times- just delicious! Hubby doesn't like baked beans or lentils, so I make it for myself. Today I cut the recipe in half and used a mixture of lentils and dry barley. Why not? Worked great and still delicious!

Delcious for those who like bean recipes--mine turned out yummy with some alterations: I cooked lentils in water with a little salt free chicken bouillion thrown in (to add a little extra flavor to the lentils)--had to substitute 16 oz crushed tomatoes as I had no tomato sauce/ added 1 tsp garlic powder as I had no liquid smoke-- and it delcious this way. May try it using tomato sauce and liquid smoke but hard to think it could come out better. This will be in my "favorites" from now on-- healthy AND delicious-- really tastes like "Boston baked beans"-- just made with lentils!

These were very good.

You cannot imagine how grateful I am to see this recipe!! It is very close to one that has been one of my "tried and true and essential" recipes for years, but was lost during a recent cook-book purge. Anyone who is not familiar with lentils needs to understand that this takes minutes rather than hours to prepare and cook.

I love Boston Baked Beans and now I love Boston Baked Lentils!! This was really good!! All I added was some hot sauce after it was on my plate. In my book this is a winner. Thanks Mercy.
