Steps:
- Use a big pot and cook onion in margarine until soft.
- In a bowl, stir together bouillon and hot water.
- Add lentils, rice, bouillon-water mixture and cold water.
- Bring to a boil.
- Lower heat, cover and simmer 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Meanwhile, fry both sides of a slice of bread in oil and sprinkle with Italian Seasoning blend.
- Cool on rack.
- After 25 minutes, rice should be cooked and lentils should be cooked but still firm (not mushy) and there should still be some moisture in the mixture.
- Turn stove off and stir 1 cup of the cheese into the mixture until cheese is melted.
- Pour mixture into a 9 by 13 pan that has been sprayed with Pam and smooth the top with the back of your spoon.
- Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheese over top.
- Crunch up the cooled fried bread with a knife and sprinkle over casserole.
- Sprinkle parmesan over casserole.
- Bake in preheated 350 oven for 15 minutes or so until cheese is melted.
- Let cool slightly before serving.
