Directions
Mexican Lentil Casserole, From Easy Beans , Another winner dish to add to our collection of meatless dinners Easy to make, staple ingredients and very tasty My husband enjoyed his topped with a spicy taco sauce , This is DELICIOUS! Everyone in my house ate it and I am usually the only one who will eat lentils! Super easy and cheap! Can see making this a Friday night tradition:) Only changes that I made were using more peppers instead of celery (that is what I had), and cooking lentils in half broth/half water as I always do to add some flavor I make my own taco seasoning with 1 tbs arrowroot, 2 tsp chili powder, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp paprika, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper, 1/4 tsp cumin I still added the chili powder that the recipe calls for Delicious! We also really like the added touch of the tortilla chips as it gave it some texture and added flavor:)
