Herbed Lentils and Rice

3 1/3 c. veg. broth                                     3/4 c. dry lentils (rinsed)
3/4 c. chopped onion                                 1/2 c. uncooked brown rice
1/4 tsp. salt                                                1/2 tsp. dry basil
1/4 tsp. thyme                                            1/4 tsp. dry oregano (I omit this)
1/8 tsp. pepper                                           1/8 tsp. garlic powder


Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Mix all ingredients, stirring well.  Turn into 1 1/2 qu. covered casserole.  Bake covered for 90 minutes to 2 hrs, until rice and lentils are cooked.  Stir twice during baking.  Serves 4.

This is soooo yummy with any side veggies and/or roasted chicken! :)  So easy and extremely healthy.  Your kids will go back for seconds.  I never have leftovers!
