SAUSAGE AND RED LENTIL CASSEROLE
A great warmìng casserole for chìlly nìghts.
I love one-pot meals and thìs sausage and red lentìl casserole ìs no exceptìon. ìt’s the perfect, easy to prepare, and quìck to make meal, that ì love. Although there ìs no need to add extra vegetables or sìdes ìf you really are hungry, a pìece of crusty bread wouldn’t go amìss.
