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

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

  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.

  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.
