Brown Rice and Lentil Casserole

Our son wanted to increase our vegetarian meals so we had to find some good ones. We love lentils and brown rice and this casserole was so much easier to make than we would have originally thought. So good. --Mark

Ingredients:

3 cups broth (chicken or vegetable)
3/4 cup lentils
1/2 cup brown rice
3/4 cup onion, chopped
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1 cup grated cheese (cheddar or a cheddar blend is good)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.

2. Mix all ingredients except the cheese in a baking dish.

3. Cover with foil and bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes.

4. Remove the foil, add the cheese, and bake for an additional 20 minutes.

Notes:

We usually use a quart of broth and then increase the lentils to one full cup and brown rice to about 3/4 cup.
