1/2 medium Red Bell Pepper
1 tsp Cocoa Powder
1 cup Low-Sodium Beef Broth
1 tsp Olive Oil

Transfer the beef and sautéed vegetables to your slow cooker.
Add chopped carrot, diced tomatoes, low-sodium beef broth, and cocoa powder to the slow cooker. Stir to combine all the ingredients.
Mix in the cooked lentils to boost the protein and texture of the stew.

Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the beef is tender.
Once cooked, give the stew a final stir and adjust seasoning if necessary before serving.
