Directions
Mexican Rice and Bean Casserole, This is tasty rice dish with a kick to it Of coarse all the spices may be adjusted to suit taste I have even added cooked ground beef to this to make it into a main dish , Since I was cleaning out the refrigeratior and pantry, I made some changes based on what I needed to use up: used fresh roma tomatoes, peeled and chopped (1 5C), about 1 C sliced fresh mushrooms, 1 small red pepper, 8 oz tomato sauce, one 8 oz can of corn, undrained, 4 oz diced green chilies, and about 10 black olives, halved The rice, water, beans and seasonings were per recipe, and were perfect Since this was serving only 2, I portioned out what we needed for the meal, and I topped that portion with a mixture of Mexican white cheeses and some Mexican 4-Cheese to bake The remainder of the recipe I will refrigerate and freeze for later use, topping those portions with the cheese when I reheat them Yummy!, Hi Kittencal, We all enjoyed this dish, especially, because its vegetarian – I try to reduce our meat-intake I added some black olives and used fresh mushrooms (personal preference) Because of time I omitted the oven and served it from the stove – We served it with Sour Cream, Salsa, Cheese on the side and Wraps (Kids loved it) Thanks for a wonderful dish Claudia
