THAT LENTIL CASSEROLE
Even my pickiest eaters really liked this casserole. It is a great vegetarian meal when made with vegetable broth and no bacon and stills taste just as wonderful. Don't be put off by the list of ingredients or the long looking directions. It goes together very easily! I just like to really be specific because I write these recipes up for my 11 year old son to cook for the family.
