From: The Bean Cookbook by Norma S. Upson. When I try it I will probably double the herbs. *Use vegetable broth to make this Vegetarian. You may try this with any kind of cheese you like.

2 2/3 cups vegetable broth or 2 2/3 cups chicken broth
3/4 cup lentils
3/4 cup onion, chopped
1/2 cup brown rice
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/8-1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (i would use 1-2 cloves garlic, minced)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 ounces swiss cheese, shredded
2 ounces swiss cheese, strips to top
Directions:
1. Combine all ingredients except the cheese strips and turn into an ungreased 1 1/2 quart casserole dish.
2. Cover and bake at 350F for about 1 1/2 hours until lentils and rice are cooked, stirring twice.
3. Place cheese strips on top of the lentil-rice mixture.
4. Bake uncovered 2-3 minutes until cheese melts.
