This lentil casserole is easy and healthy.
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.
