Lentil Stew over Couscous image

I love cooking in the crocpot and the way stews turn out. This is a hearty stew, filled with vegetables and a great way to warm you during the cooler months. This recipe makes 12 generous servings and the stew itself can be frozen for up to 3 months. The recipe is courtesy of Best-Loved Slow Cooker Recipes.
