Clean Eating | Slow Cooker Lentil & Rice Casserole Recipe

I found this recipe the other day while looking for another soup to share. The original poster intended for this to be a “soup”, but with barely any liquid remaining in our batch… we dubbed it a casserole. This recipe has hints of Indian food without the knock you over spice. Everyone loved it and there were a few “words” over the last left-over.

Author:

Ingredients
  • I used organic ingredients where possible:
  • 2 cups dry lentils
  • 2 cups uncooked long grain brown rice
  • 1 cup chopped carrots
  • ½ cup chopped celery
  • ½ onion, chopped
  • 8 cups water
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tsp curry
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon
  • 1-3 cloves minced garlic (to taste)
  • 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms (we did not use mushrooms)

Instructions
  1. Place all ingredients except the mushrooms in the slow cooker and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours. Stir in the mushrooms 1 hour before serving.

Thanks Diane! Yes… my family enjoyed it a LOT. My husband and oldest fought over who was taking the leftovers to work the next day. LOL

Be sure to watch it Ashley. I left my second batch on the counter overnight to cook and it was a huge pile of mush… I was so disappointed. I think the only difference this time was I didn’t stir it every so often.
