LENTILS AND RICE CASSEROLE
This recipe got its start from ladypit's Brown Rice and Lentil Casserole #74629. After weeks of tinkering, I adapted it so much that it really became something totally different. LOL My family, especially my 13 month old, really love this! Wholesome, filling and super easy to throw together! I make this all the time. The leftovers are great, too.
