What's For Dinner? Brown Rice and Lentil Casserole


PhotoTonight I'm trying out this casserole with a side of Cesar salad.  I've had the ingredients sitting around for a little while, but never got around to making it.  I'm substituting the cheddar for Velveeta shreds queso blanco and adding a teaspoon of cumin and chili powder for some extra flavor.

Ingredients
  • 3 cups chicken broth or 3 cups vegetable broth
  • 3/4 cup lentils
  • 1/2 cup brown rice
  • 3/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder ( I use more)
  • 1 cup grated cheese ( cheddar or a blend is preferable)

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
  2. Mix all ingredients except the cheese in a baking dish (I use an 11 x 7).
  3. Cover with foil and bake for 1 hour 10 minutes.
  4. Then remove the foil, add the cheese, and bake for an additional 20 minutes.
