Cheesy Slow Cooker Lentils
These cheesy slow cooker lentils are almost zero effort to make, they’re tasty served in a million different ways, and you can use whatever veg you have on hand!
I love using my slow cooker as it requires minimum effort (like, practically zero), to produce healthy, hearty food that I’m genuinely excited about eating. These cheesy slow cooker lentils are the perfect example – chuck it all in the pot, and a few hours later you’ll come back to an awesome meal. What could be better?!
These slow cooker lentils really are about as close as you can get to a zero effort meal.
Dump everything in the Crock-Pot.
Wait a while.
Stir in some cheese, if you like.
Eat.
Some ideas for how to serve these:
- on its own, as a stew
- spooned over rice or pasta
- scooped up with tortilla chips
- over a jacket potato
- inside flour or corn tortillas, to make lentil tacos
- as lentil soup (just add a bit more liquid when cooking!)
I served my cheesy slow cooker lentils on their own in a bowl, with a couple of slices of garlic bread for dipping. Utterly perfect.

Do you drain the can of tomatoes first?
Love this as a base, I add a good slurp of white wine at the beginning of the cooking process and stir through some cream at the end for a delicious creamy lentil stew
