Lentils and cheese... my two favorite foods! YUM. I put this on top of a brown/wild rice mixture.

I just couldn't finish this casserole. It has no flavor. The lentils were not cooked within the given amount of time. I even tried putting in the lentils in for another 15 minutes, after the cheese was put on top. It didn't work.
