Lentil Rice Ground Beef Substitute

So, I typically try to limit my use of soy-meat products to a maximum of once per week.  These products are processed and high in sodium which makes me feel that they are not the most healthy option to be using all of the time.  Plus, they are expensive!  Here is a recipe that you can use for a ground beef substitute instead of using the packaged "fake meats".  It is naturally high in fiber and low in sodium.  And best of all...it's cheap!  The lentils and rice pack a nutrition punch making it a healthy substitution to ground beef in recipes.
I find that this mixture does better when combined with some "fake meat".  It retains a better "meat-like" texture that way.  But, I still feel good using it because it is cutting the use of the processed "fake meat" in half and also adding good nutrition through the lentils and rice.
One recipe makes a lot!  I divided it up into 2 cup portions (equivalent to ~1 lb ground beef) and placed into freezer bags for later use.

Ingredients:
2 cups brown rice
2 cups green lentils
2 Tbsp Montreal steak seasoning
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup vital wheat gluten
1 cup rolled oats


Directions:
Boil rice, lentils, and steak seasoning until mostly soft.  Drain any excess water if necessary. Combine with remaining ingredients.  Spread into a 13 x 9-inch pan and bake at 300 for 1 hr, stirring every 20 minutes to evenly dehydrate the mixture.
