Tex-Mex Style Vegetarian Black Bean Casserole
- 1 pkg. Mahatma yellow saffron rice
- 1 cup brown rice
- 2 cans black beans
- Frozen corn (amount varies with taste)
- 1 jar salsa
- 1 pkg. shredded cheddar cheese (try Healthy Choice low-fat cheddar)
- Low-fat
- fat-free sour cream and guacamole (optional)
- Baked tortilla chips (optional)
- Pour saffron and brown rice together and measure to be exact on amount, cook on the stove top in large stockpot according to brown rice package directions.
- While this cooks, heat black beans in a saucepan on low (strain the "juice" from both cans, leaving only enough to keep the beans moist).
- Add about 1/4 to 1/2 of the salsa to the black beans.
- Allow to cook together on low.
- Also heat frozen corn (generally about 1 cup should do the trick).
- If water remains in the corn, drain.
- Stir the corn, black beans and about 1/3 of the cheese into the rice mixture.
- Sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top of the casserole and cover, allowing the cheese to melt.
- Serve hot with remaining salsa, sour cream, guacamole and tortilla chips.
- Enjoy!
