Lentil Rice Casserole

This recipe is SO easy! It is also SO easy to clean up after. This may become a regular at our house, especially when I haven't been to the store in a while. It uses things that I have on hand.

Ingredients:

3 c. vegetable broth

3/4 c. lentils, uncooked

1/2 c. brown rice, uncooked

2/3 c. chopped onion (or if you don't have any, you can use 2 T. dried onion flakes)

1 c. (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes

2-3 medium carrots, chopped

1/2 tsp. basil (or a handful of fresh basil, finely chopped)

1/4 tsp. oregano

1/4 tsp. thyme

1-2 cloves garlic

1 tsp. salt, or to taste

Directions:

Put all ingredients in a casserole dish and give it a stir. Bake covered for 1 1/2 hours at 300F.

SOOOO easy! We ate this with a delicious salad and bread. It was great because the cleanup was next to nothing!
