I love recipes that I can throw together in my crockpot and forget about until dinner. This Slow Cooker Ham and Lentil Stew is exactly that.
Very good! Especially with the addition of the spinach. A great idea for those cold winter days!
This recipe is a delightfully pleasant change to the usual ham-and-potato dishes commonly found. The lemon juice is REALLY great in this.
The flavor improves, as do many soups, after a night in the ‘fridge.
