Black Bean and Rice Casserole
honey you can use black beans in the same way as you would the white bean. i like then in a bean soup kind of thing i cook them down to a thick pasty dish and just enjoy them
Drain one can of black beans. Pour in a can of Rotel Tomatoes. Chop a bell pepper and add along with one tablespoon of lime juice.
Chill. This doesn't look great, but it's a very good cold bean salad.
Those soups sound wonder! For summer you might like what:
I am eating ( my high healthy version of pasta/black bean salad) right now!!!!!
Ingredients: 1 pound of whole wheat pasta
1 package of frozen "southwestern" style frozen veggies .... that is the kind with black beans, corn , and green and red bell peppers and onions.
1 Tablespoon of oil and vinegar dressing ( I make my own because I am allergic to garlic...) you can use "store bought" if you like; just don't use too much.
1/4 cup of low sodium V8... we are also on a low salt regimen
1 Tablespoon of Catalina dressing.
Bring a large pot of water to boil. add pasta and cook until tender.
Put frozen veggies in a large bowl. When the pasta is cooked use that water to thaw the veggies... drain all in large colander.
Put veggies and pasta in large bowl. Add V8, oil and vinegar and Catalina. Toss well!.
Serving ideas. Serve on a bed of torn Romain lettuce
with a choice of ONE or TWO of these topping suggestions:
cottage cheese,
left over chicken, or lean roast beef.
slices of avocado, hard boiled eggs, diced cheese
tuna or shrimp.
I make a large batch. It keeps in the fridge very well and with different topping we can have a variety of cool summer meals.
