This recipe was alright, but it took forever to make and only tasted good while fresh, i.e. don't count on savoring those leftovers. It's worth trying but make sure you have plenty of checca sauce on the side (which, by the way, I found to have too much garlic or the loaf will be too dry. I also think the amount of cheese that goes into the dish cancels out any positive nutritional value derived from the grains and veggies.

The Checca sauce was great, however the dish as a whole was very time consuming. I ended up with two loaf pans and I followed the ingredients and measurements pretty closely. I liked the nutrtional value of this dish but no one is my family was "whooed" with it. When I put this much work into something, I'd like it to be special.

I loved this!! So did my 10 month old twins and my older kids too. Based on previous reviews about it not staying "loaf-like" I added one more egg and 1/2 cup of whole-wheat panko bread crumbs. I also used sucatash in place of the corn because that's what I had. Next time I make it I'm going to add a few dashes of hot sauce to the mix.

This is the most fabulous tasting lentil loaf I've found to date. Only flaw in the recipe is that the end volume of raw material requires two loaf pans in which to cook. I've found that adding a third egg works out well.

A really yummy dish that my husband made on Mother's day. I love lentils so it was a perfect dish to make. Our almost 14 month old enjoyed it too. I wish there was a way to erduce the amount of time and effort spent in making it, but then it may not taste the same.

I didn't realize till 10 mins before this was done. I forgot to add the eggs and corn! Tell you what! It still tastes wonderful!! The combinations of flavors and the checca sauce is out of this world!!! I can't believe that I did this. Its a keeper in my books!!

Thank goodness I made this the day before and baked it the day of. It was very time consuming. It looked great in the pan but did not hold together when served. Although it tasted very good it did not make a nice presentation.

We really liked this. Would try as a cassarole next time since loaf didn't stand up so well. Took as long as indicated for me. Also, put left overs in cupcake pan for the kids - went over very well!

This recipe has great flavor and is easy to make. The first time I made it the consistancy was a lttle runny, but it was still delicious. Second time I made it I added one piece of soughdough bread converted to crumbs in the food processor. Still had the great flavor and cut more like a meatloaf.

I was struggling to find a use for lentils without throwing them into a soup. When I saw this recipe, I was a little worried that my boyfriend (adventurous with food, but prefers the ol' meat and potatoes wouldn't like it. We both loved it! The fresh basil really adds so much to it and the lentils weren't mushy or mealy. We substituted Arborio rice for the brown rice and chicken broth for the veggie broth (it was what we had in the cupboard and it worked great. I'll use this dish when entertaining my vegetarian friends and family members! The only drawback was that our three-year-old daughter didn't care for it, but she's a pretty picky eater. Thanks for the great recipe!
