Mmm! I have a different lentil loaf recipe that my kids and I love (surprisingly enough). I'm tempted by the cheese and tomato sauce addition though . . . that sounds really, really good.

It is pretty tasty with the cheese! I am thinking next time even trying some jalapeno peppers in it since my guys like things a little spicy! Happy New Year to You too!
