Lentil Skillet Delight

Well...one day my parents went out to the vegetable garden and put me in charge of making dinner. So I proceeded to make a scrumptious lentil skillet per my mother's recipe. While doing so I had my good friend Kayla on the phone who voiced her deep desire to know how to make such a scrumptious skillet for herself! So here goes:
You need:
  • approx. 4 hamburger patties (or as much ground beef as you deem necessary)
  • 1 large can of lentils
  • 1 small to medium onion finely chopped
  • 1 clove of garlic finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • some ground pepper

Once you've gathered all these yummy ingredients (I realize half the audience will not eat this scrumptious dish as you are vegetarians...oh well...):

-brown the ground beef and then drain
- add chopped onions and garlic
- add lentils with juice from can
Let simmer a little bit...
-add cumin, salt, and a sprinkle of pepper
Let simmer on low, covered for 15-20 min or until cooked to satisfaction.

This can be served over rice or pasta...though I prefer rice! And I tend to sprinkle some Parmesan cheese on top for extra yummyness.
Enjoy!
