The cashier at my Kroger in Dayton said "rice and beans again?" and I've been thinking about it for 2 weeks

I was buying my usual 5 lb bag of rice and 2 cans of pinto beans for $4.28 when she said it with a little smile, and it hit me that I've been eating this 3 nights a week for a while now. She mentioned her mom stretches a $1.25 bag of lentils across 4 dinners with onion and cumin, which I'd never tried. Does anyone have a cheap lentil recipe that doesn't taste like punishment?
