Slow cooker Lentil Bolognese

Today, there's lentil bolognese in my Slow cooker 󾌧
Add:
300-350g lentils
2 carrots, diced
1 red onion, diced
1/2 can sweetcorn
3 cups boiling water
Spices: salt, paprika, chili powder, cayenne pepper (all to taste)
Cook on high for 1-1.5hrs

Layer on top: (all diced)
2 bell peppers (I used red and yellow)
1 small zucchini
3 cups of mushroom
Fresh basil to taste
1 jar of pasta sauce  (I used "arrabiata") + 1 Tbs powdered tomato soup (you can substitute with tomato paste and adjust the spices)
Cook for 1 more hour on high, then stirr everything together and cook on low for 3-4 hrs
You may want to take the lid off for the last half hour or so.
Serve with pasta or rice or use it for a lasagna :)

Side note: I'm sure you could layer everything in your slow cooker and turn it on low for 7-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours. Just make sure to seperate the lentils from the tomato sauce for a while. It'll also make a difference in texture. My vegetables turned out cooked but still had a nice bite to them. If you prefer softer vegetables, cook them for longer.
