Sausage Casserole with Red Lentils


I added red lentils to this sausage casserole as I thought it would make a nice change and would be a good way to incorporate more pulses into our diets.   My children enjoyed it although they didn’t mention the lentils so I don’t think they even realized what they were eating.
