Lentile Rice Casserole

A friend in Sarasota posted this on her blog a while back and I have made it many times since. It is very good and I wanted to share with those that look here.

Ingredients

  • 6 cups Broth
  • 1 1/2 cups Lentils
  • 1 cup brown rice
  • 1 cup chopped Onion (alternative: 1/2 cup of dried minced onion)
  • 1 teaspoon of salt (omit if using a salted broth, or the bouillon method)
  • 1 teaspoon basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder

  • Grated/chopped vegetables of your choice (optional)
    I use lots of kale and lots of shredded carrots.
  • Approx 2 cups Cheddar cheese (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
  2. Mix first eight ingredients together in a 9x13 pan
  3. Cover & Bake for 2 - 21/2 hours in the 300° oven

  4. During the last 45 minutes of bake time, stir in your grated veggies
  5. During the last few minutes, top with cheese, if desired
