How Do You Make A Vegan Lentil And Brown Rice Casserole?

Lentil and rice casseroles are very easy to make. Simply mix all of the dry ingredients together on your day off. Store in an airtight container until you’re ready to make it.

It does take a while to cook, but it’s very hands-off. There’s no sauteing or chopping tons of ingredients. Just mix everything together, spread it across a baking dish, cover it with foil, and pop it in the oven.

What If I Don’t Have Dehydrated Vegetables?

You don’t need to add dehydrated vegetables. They are a nice addition if you’re planning on preparing ahead of time, but you can replace them with some freshly chopped vegetables that you add right before you bake it or omit them entirely.
