Beef and Lentil Taco Casserole
This is an easy, yummy GAPS legal dinner! Make sure to soak the lentils in water the night before so that they’re easy to digest. If you’d like to serve this with guacamole, check out my recipe for Winter Guacamole.

How much garlic? The recipe says add garlic but it is not in the list.

I made this! I used brown lentils and about 4 large garlic cloves. I used ground turkey instead of beef. My husband liked it so much!
