2 1/2-quart saucepan bring 6 cups of water to a boil.
Add the lentils, bacon, leek or green onion, carrot
and celery. Simmer, partially covered, for 30 to 40

simmer for 30 minutes or until lentils are soft. Add
the frankfurters and catsup. Cook to heat
frankfurters through. Season with salt and pepper and
