"I love this recipe, and made it occasionally when my children were
youngsters. My daughter, now grown, often takes it as a pot luck dish.
Instead of the slow oven process, I mix ingredients and simmer on the
stovetop. When the lentils and rice (I'm using cracked wheat tonight)
are done, I fold in half of the cheese and slide into a casserole.
Then I top it with the rest of the cheese and broil in the oven. I also like to
add carrot pieces and chicken to make it more of a one-dish meal, but still
serve it with a nice green salad."
