Ingredients

2 cups dry lentils, uncooked
2 Tbsp. oil
1 lb. beef stew meat
1 tsp. black pepper, divided
1 onion, chopped
2 cups each chopped carrots and celery
2-1/2 qt. (10 cups) fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth
1-1/2 cups CLASSICO Marinara with Plum Tomatoes & Olive Oil Pasta Sauce
2 Tbsp. LEA & PERRINS Worcestershire Sauce
1 tsp. dried thyme leaves

Steps:

Place lentil in large heatproof bowl. Add enough boiling water to completely cover lentils; cover. Let stand 15 min.
Meanwhile, heat oil in Dutch oven on medium heat. Add meat and 1/2 tsp. pepper; stir. Cook 8 to 10 min. or until meat is evenly browned, stirring occasionally. Add onions, carrots and celery; stir. Cook 6 to 8 min. or until vegetables are crisp-tender, stirring frequently.
Drain lentils. Add to cooked vegetable mixture along with remaining pepper and all remaining ingredients except cheese; mix lightly. Bring to boil; simmer on medium-low heat 1 to 1-1/4 hours or until lentils are tender.
Serve topped with cheese.
