It’s a great idea, just be cautious if you have a peanut allergy. Lentils can trigger your allergy.

I put my lentils in a blender with pasta sauce to hide them.

Many years ago I had came across several pounds of ground beef on markdown, but I knew I would never be able to use it all before it went bad and I don’t like putting marked down meat in the freezer for a long period of time so I cooked all of the ground beef with salt, pepper, onion, and garlic, and then portion it into one and a half pound Ziploc bags for my family flatten them out and put them in the freezer and it worked out so great that now I do that with all of the ground beef I buy. Now I’m gonna have to try some lentils.

I do this with my ground meat. Lentils are also a great source of iron. I also purchase this diy protein crumble. so easy to use and long shelf life because it's dehydrated. sooo good.

I keep seeing people add lentils. Tell me the truth people, does it change the flavor or texture? Can I sneak it past a very picky teen and husband?

I love this with the lentils. I used to precook ground meat in 1lb packs when my son was young because made making hamburger helper, hamburger present rolls, tacos or sloppy Joe's super quick and easy. would absolutely do this with lentils for myself now. already tend to add black beans to taco meat (a can per pound ish) but lentils are so much more versatile
