"This is a great meal that we eat here often in the winter time. With some dark bread and maybe a salad it is a really hearty meal, though we have been known to eat just this for dinner. The recipe is adapted from Amy Dacyczyn's "The Complete Tightwad Gazette""
Ingredients
3cups chicken broth or 3 cups vegetable broth
3⁄4cup lentils
1⁄2cup brown rice
3⁄4cup chopped onion
1teaspoon italian seasoning
1⁄4teaspoon garlic powder (I use more)
1cup grated cheese (cheddar or a blend is preferable)
Direction
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
Mix all ingredients except the cheese in a baking dish (I use an 11 x 7).
Cover with foil and bake for 1 hour 10 minutes.
Then remove the foil, add the cheese, and bake for an additional 20 minutes.
