2. While lentils cook, brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat. Drain and discard any excess fat.

4. Drizzle the honey over the mixture and sprinkle with your choice of herbs, stirring gently to combine.
5. Cover the baking dish tightly with foil and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 1 hour until the vegetables are tender and the flavors are beautifully fused.
