Ingredients

1 cup Lentils

1 Clove garlic, minced

2 cups Water

1 teaspoon Chili powder

1 cup Chopped tomatoes

1 dsh Cayenne pepper

1 Green onion, chopped

1 cup Shredded (ff) cheese

Preparation

Also, here's a recipe I tried the other night from the Vegetarian Times it! (I'll have to refrain from making it every other night! (G))

Bring lentils and water to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 to 1 1/2 hours until tender. Add tomatoes, onion, garlic, chili powder, and cayenne.

Place in a baking dish and bake, covered, for 20 minutes at 350 degrees.

Sprinkle cheese on top and bake, uncovered, 5 minutes more or until cheese melts.

Personal notes: The lentils cooked a lot faster than an hour, and I had to keep adding more water. I used onion and garlic chives instead of the green onion and garlic for a milder flavor. We had corn on the cob and a green salad with it and it was great.
