Brown Rice and Lentil Casserole

3/4 cup organic lentils
1/2 cup brown rice
1 cup chicken broth
2 cups water
2 tsp italian seasoning 1 tsp garlic
1/2 cup cheddar cheese
2 1/2 cups frozen broccoli florets

1. Mix all ingredients except cheese in baking pan (I use an 11x7).

2. Cover with foil and bake 1 hour 10 minutes at 300 degrees.

3. Uncover, cover with cheese, and bake 20 minutes more, or until cheese is nice and melted. Like most casseroles, it is best to let it sit for a few minutes before cutting into it.

4. Steam broccoli and eat with casserole.

* You can use any combination of liquid here that you like - chicken/veggie broth, water, even tomato sauce. You just want to make sure you have 3 cups total.
