Lentil And Rice Casserole Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
• Mix all ingredients except the cheese in a baking dish (I use an 11 x 7).
• Cover with foil and bake for 1 hour 10 minutes.
• Then remove the foil, add the cheese, and bake for an additional 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Place the rice and 1 cup water in a pot, and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer 20 minutes. Place lentils in a pot with the remaining 1 1/2 cups water, and bring to a boil. Cook 15 minutes, or until tender.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat, and stir in the onion and garlic. Mix in tomato, celery, carrots, zucchini, and 1/2 the tomato sauce. Season with 1/2 the basil, 1/2 the oregano, 1/2 the cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook until vegetables are tender.
• In a casserole dish, mix the rice, lentils, and vegetables. Top with remaining tomato sauce, and sprinkle with remaining basil, oregano, and cumin.
• Bake 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until bubbly.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. In ungreased 2- or 2 1/2-quart casserole, mix all ingredients except almonds.
• Cover and bake 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes or until rice and lentils are tender. Uncover and stir mixture. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with almonds.

Steps:

• In a saucepan, bring water and bouillon cubes to a boil. Add rice and stir. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 50 minutes, or until rice is tender and all liquid has been absorbed.
• Heat oil in a stockpot over medium-high heat. Cook zucchini and onion until tender, but still slightly firm, about 5 minutes. Stir in cumin, oregano, lentils, and about 6 cups water gradually. Bring to a soft boil, and continue cooking until lentils are tender, 45 to 60 minutes, adding water as needed.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Mix the cooked rice together with the lentils, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in 3/4 of the Cheddar cheese, and transfer mixture into a 9x13 inch pan. Mix remaining cheese together with the breadcrumbs, and spread evenly over the top of the dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven just until cheese has melted, about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Place lentils in a bowl and cover with cold water. Soak for at least 4 hours.
• Drain lentils and put in a large pot with 5 cups water and bouillon cube; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes. Add rice and simmer until rice and lentils are tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper, garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper; saute until onion is golden brown and tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Add ground beef; cook and stir until browned and crumbly, 7 to 9 minutes. Add paprika and cook for 1 more minute.
• Add meat mixture to lentils and rice. Simmer over low heat for 5 to 10 minutes.
