3 lbs beef tips
1/4 cup flour
1 lb lentils, picked over & rinsed
1 small onion, chopped
2 carrots, peeled & diced
2 celery hearts, finely chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes, with juice
3 tablespoons tomato paste
6 -7 cups chicken broth, low sodium
1 tablespoon thyme
1 tablespoon oregano
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon curry
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 dash cayenne

Steps:

Combine beef tips with flour in the crock pot.
Add remaining ingredients & mix together.
Cook on High for 6 hours.
**To change it to a thicker consistency, which I prefer, take 4-6 cups without the meat (2 cups at a time) and blend in a food processor or with a hand blender.
Cook on low for an additional hour.
Serve with Honey Cornbread #270877.
