This is one of my favorite lentil recipes. In fact, this recipe made me notice how much lentils remind me of crumbled ground beef. And that was long before I stopped eating meat. While the original recipe called for shredded Swiss cheese, I’ve substituted nutritional yeast to keep the cheesy taste without the dairy.
