This casserole is one of my favorite combinations - black beans, brown rice, and tomatoes. So good.
Black Beans and Rice
1 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, chopped
15.5 oz can black beans, rinsed and drained
14.5 oz can crushed, diced, or stewed tomatoes, undrained
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp chili powder
1 1/2 cups raw brown or white Minute rice
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion then cook and stir until tender. Add the beans, tomatoes, and seasonings. Bring to a boil then stir in the rice. Cover, reduce the heat to low, then simmer for 10 minutes or until the rice is tender.
* Wonderful topped with salsa.
* Cooked ground beef can be added if desired.
