Mix together well. Cover and cook on low 8 to 10 hours. Before serving season to taste. I have made this a lot and it is truly scrumptious - I add a couple of potatoes, diced, and sometimes use bacon bones in place of the chopped bacon. I do not soak the lentils - 8 hours in a slow cooker is enough. If you cannot get celery with the top leaves - throw in some celery seed. Enjoy - Maxine in OZ :) MMMMM -- ~~Rec.food.recipes is moderated; only recipes and recipe requests are accepted for posting.
