VEGETARIAN BROWN RICE CASSEROLE



Vegetarian Brown Rice Casserole image

Vegetarian main dishes often require hours of chopping veggies, and a laundry list of ingredients - but not in this dish. This easy casserole turns a can of vegetarian lentil soup into a hearty casserole with the help of nutritious, ready-to-serve whole-grain brown rice, canned vegetables, and cheddar cheese. Because the ingredients go into the casserole already cooked (canned vegetables are simply cooked vegetables in a can), all they need is a few minutes in a microwave oven before they are delightfully done and ready to serve.

BROWN RICE CASSEROLE



Brown Rice Casserole image

As a new bride, I knew how to make scrambled eggs and bran muffins. Unfortunately, you can only live on love for so long. My dear husband held his tongue and ate the many flops that come with being a beginning cook. Many years later, I'm secure in the kitchen, and my family enjoys my cooking. This hearty dish even passes the test for teenage boys.-Glenda Schwartz, Morden, Manitoba
