Ingredients

  • 1 (16 ounce) package dry lentils
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 (29 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 cup chopped carrots
  • 1 cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 1 cup chopped fresh mushrooms
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • ½ cup chopped celery
  • 2 teaspoons dried parsley
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2
Spread lentils into a shallow 2-quart baking dish. Pour water over lentils, then add tomatoes, carrots, bell pepper, mushrooms, onion, celery, parsley, and garlic. Mix gently to combine. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.

Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven until lentils are tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Remove aluminum foil and sprinkle Cheddar cheese over casserole. Continue to bake until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes more.

Tips

Colby cheese can be used in place of Cheddar cheese.
