Directions
Tos the beef, lentils, kidney beans, salsa, and Cheddar cheese into your slow cooker, layering them in that order. Set it to cook on Low and let it go for about 4 to 6 hours, or if you’re short on time, crank it up to High and cook for 2 to 4 hours. Once everything is bubbling and the cheese has melted nicely, give it a good stir to mix all the flavors together. Serve it up warm, and enjoy!
Creative Serving Ideas
Serve with warm tortilla chips, fresh salsa, and a dollop of sour cream or guacamole. Adding chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice on top brightens the flavors. This dish also pairs well with a simple green salad or Mexican rice.
How To Save Leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of water if needed to keep it moist. This dish also freezes well for up to 3 months.
