Baked Lentils and Rice

I love lentils. I love rice. Put them together and you have one of the cheapest recipes you can find without sacrificing nutrition. Give this recipe a try to turn these two incredible ingredients into a super simple meal that anyone can whip up:

Baked Lentils and Rice

• 3 c. chicken or vegetable broth
• 3/4 c. lentils, uncooked
• 1/2 c. brown rice, uncooked
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 carrots, chopped
• 1 t. garlic
• 1 t. oregano
• 1/2 t. basil
• 1/2 t. salt
• 1/4 t. black pepper
• 1/4 t. rosemary (optional)

Combine all ingredients in a lightly greased 9" x 13" baking dish. Cover with foil and bake at 325 degrees for 1-1/2 hours, or until rice is cooked and liquid is abosorbed.

This recipe is incredibly easy but does require a bit of cooking time. I recommend preparing it and freezing it for a super simple meal later!
