this is an easy side or main dish. the cheese is optional. we eat it as a main dish. I can't remember where I got the beginning of this recipe but I have adapted it so much I don't think it would be recognized anymore. I make this in a crock pot but it could be made in an oven in a covered dish at 350 degrees for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. I've never tried making it on low heat so I don't know how long for that.
Ingredients:
1 cup uncooked rice
1 cup dried lentils
1 cup chopped onion, about 1 medium
32 ounces water or 32 ounces broth, of choice

1 (1 ounce) package taco seasoning
2 -8 ounces of shredded cheese

1. spray inside of crock pot with non stick cooking spray.
