Wahoo Corn & Black Bean Casserole

In our quest for high protein, high fiber meals, Gary and I created a Tastefully Simple casserole that is quiche-like and meatless!

Say Hello to our little friend: Wahoo Corn & Black Bean Rice Casserole!

Wahoo Corn & Black Bean Rice Casserole

 We started with 3 eggs and scrambled them all up.


I then added Tastefully Simple's Corn & Black Bean Salsa.





(This recipes has so much color!
            More colors = more vitamins!)








I then added more flavor with Tastefully Simple's Wahoo Chili Seasoning, chopped bell peppers, and my homemade hummus.
Then mix it all up!


While this was mixing up, I had going in my rice cooker 2 cups of brown rice. (Have I mentioned how much I love my rice cooker?)

Finally plopped it in the oven at 375 for about 3-35 minutes.


I was pleasantly surprised how the casserole bound together with the egg and it cut so well into squares.  Even my kids enjoyed it!  This could be a main dish or a side dish, too!  I increased the protein a little extra, too, by dolloping a scoop of Greek yogurt.


Recipe:

2 cups, cooked, Brown Rice
3 eggs
1/2 cup hummus
1/2 cup chopped bell peppers
salt & pepper to taste
Greek Yogurt for topping (optional)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375.  Scramble 3 eggs.  Combine eggs with salsa, chili seasoning, hummus, and bell peppers.  Mix until well combined.  Add brown rice and stir until coated.  Place in 8x8 or 9x9 baker and bake at 375 for 30-35 minutes.  Remove from oven and allow to cool about 5 minutes before cutting.  Top with Greek yogurt if desired.
