This is probably one of our family's favorite recipes and it's very economical to make. It's slightly sweet and so tasty. I think it's really supposed to be a side dish like baked beans, but we use it as a main course all the time. Our favorite way to serve it is burrito-style. We fill a flour tortilla with the baked lentils and microwave some shredded cheddar cheese on top. Then we top it with lettuce, tomato, and then we drizzle it with some homemade french or russian dressing (I'll be posting these recipes as well) that I make. It's soooo delicious and very good for you. Lots of protein and fiber. Our young kids love it as well just topped with the melted cheddar cheese. I often triple the recipe because we go through it so fast.
Baked Lentils
1 cup lentils
2 1/4 cups water
1/2 cup onions, chopped
1 tsp. salt
1 tbs. brown sugar
1 tbs. ketchup
1 tbs. molasses
1/2 tsp. dry mustard
1/2 c. vegetable oil
Rinse lentils; drain. Combine lentils, water, onions and salt; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 45 minutes. Add other ingredients; put in casserole dish. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Stir occasionally. (Make sure you don't forget to stir it or it will scorch and get dried out.) Serves 4 to 6 people.
