lentil and brown rice casserole

ok, ok. It sounds about exciting as dishwater. Let me assure you, this is tasty, easy and cheap!

3/4 cup of dried red lentils
3/4 cup of brown rice
can of tomatoes - 14 or 28 oz. I like diced.
chopped onion (if you insist. lol)
1/2 tsp each of basil and oreagno
3 cups stock (use less if putting in more tomatoes, more like 2.25 cups)

mix in large casserole dish. Cover and bake for 1.5 hours - stir it every 1/2 hour or so. Remove lid and sprinkle with 3/4 to 1 cup grated cheese and broil uncovered until cheese melts. Delish! Goes well with a salad and bread.

I made this tonight, and discovered part way though prepping it that I was out of canned tomatoes. So I used 2 cups of spaghetti sauce that I had in the fridge instead. Then topped with grated mozza instead of cheddar. It was nice and tasty...if largely rejected by the children. More for the grownups!
