A family favorite! Adapted from The Tightwad Gazette. Also see the recipe for "Daddy's Yee Haw Cowboy Dip Dinner."
3 c. chicken broth
3/4 c. dried lentils
1/2 c. brown rice
1 t. Italian seasoning (or 1/2 t. dried basil, 1/4 t. dried oregano, 1/4 t. dried thyme)
1/4 t. garlic powder (but, this can be optional)
Blend all together in a 9x13 baking dish. Bake covered for about an hour at 350 or until all the liquid is evaporated. I've discovered that the cook time can vary greatly depending on your oven and the altitude; currently, I bake mine for about 45 min.
Our favorite way to serve is as the burrito filling with flour tortillas, lettuce, salsa, sourcream (plain yogurt with the whey drained off), guacamole, etc. This isn't the prettiest filling, but it's really good, cheap, and healthy. But, if you want to serve it to guests and make it look more appetizing, scoop it out of the 9x13 and serve the filling in a pretty bowl along with all the toppings.
Alternate: Another way to serve leftovers is to serve is cold on a bed of lettuce with tomato wedges and a little salad dressing.
