Sausage & Red Lentil Casserole
This tastes delicious! It has a lovely smokey bacon taste with a rich tomato flavour. It's also great for hiding veggies in! It reheats well, and makes quite a lot. Perfect to take and heat on the go!
Recipe Tester Feedback: "I was out when my family ate the casserole. I got a text from hubby saying 'MMMMM YUM!' Then when I got home Mr 4 said 'Mummy that was scrummy in my tummy!' From my boys that's high praise and means I'll definitely be cooking it again. I served it with steamed diced potatoes, broccoli and beans." - Sharree
