    I found it a little bland, probably because I used low sodium broth. I'll add salt next time. But my husband and five-year-old loved it and it was very easy to make! I like it with extra tomatoes, too. - 11/2/13

    Make sure you change calories if you calorie count. Pretty sure the calories listed for the lentils and brown rice are for COOKED amounts. 3/4 cups of both equal 1.5 cups cooked. - 2/28/13

    I feared this might be a bit bland, so I added some fresh garlic,salt & pepper when baking. It still lacked flavor, so I'll have to figure out more veggies & herbs to add some zip to it next time. Also, after 90 minutes my lentils & rice were still pretty firm & the dish was still soupy. - 3/29/12

    This couldn't be easier or tastier! I had to make some substitutions because my cupboards were not as full as I thought, but the recipe is solid. I imagine a few spice tweaks to make it more Italian, more Mexican... would also be a great filling for wraps or tacos. Thank you for sharing it!! - 2/9/12

    Excellent! I used diced tomatoes with green chiles and used cumin, chili powder and crushed red peppers for seasoning. Easy and tasty!! - 2/5/12

    This was SUPER easy to make and it actually tasted like baked spaghetti. Next time I plan to kick the italian flavor up a bit with a can of Italian Stewed Tomatoes instead of regular. With cheese is better than without (I did half and half). I also needed black pepper on top, but that is my taste - 1/18/12
