1cups Dry Lentils, rinsed if you like 1cups Chopped Green Pepper 1cups Sliced Carrots 1/2cups Chopped Onion 2tsp. Chicken Boullion Granules 1/2tsp. Dried Sage 1/8tsp. Dried Red Pepper, Cheyenne or something 2 Minced Garlic Cloves 6oz. Smoked Sausage, sliced (About a third of the package.) Put everything except for the sausage in a large pot with 5 cups of water. Stir and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 22 minutes or so. Do this until lentils are nice and soft. Do the next step at the same time. Depending on what type of sausage you get, this part may vary. I usually have pre-cooked smoked sausage (like Hillshire Farms) so I will heat the sausage in a small frying pan over medium heat in some oil until they are a little bit brown all over. Of course if your sausage is uncooked, you have to cook it up well. Another option is to leave the sausage in the pot, for a more boiled taste. Stir in the sausage and heat them together a few minutes. This will be enough for about three meals for one person, in my experience.
