Pro tip: lentils are way cheaper than ground beef and just as filling
I looked up the prices at my local Aldi for a recipe swap. A pound of ground beef runs about $4.50, but a bag of dry lentils is like $1.20 and makes the same amount of food after cooking. Found this in a Saveur article from last month that compared protein costs per serving. Anyone got a go-to lentil recipe that doesn't taste like mush?
