Salmon Bean and Rice Casserole

Easy and healthy are 2 things that matter to me. Busy mommies always want to feed their families healthy, nutritious food - while watching their waistline! Serves 4.

2 cups rice, cooked
1 can red kidney beans, drained
1 can chopped fire-roasted green chiles
2 cans salmon, drained
1 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1 bell pepper, chopped, your choice color
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1 tbsp parsley

Cook rice according to package directions. Set aside. Personally, I just use Minute Rice, but us what you prefer.

In a mixing bowl, throw together the red kidney beans, green chiles, salmon, cumin and red pepper flakes. Mix well.

Spray an oven-proof casserole dish with nonstick spray and spread the rice over the bottom. Now pour the bean mixture on top and even it out. Lay the chopped bell pepper on top, like so.

In a bowl, mix together the bread crumbs, parmesan cheese and parsley, and sprinkle over the red peppers.

Cover top with an oven-proof lid or use foil to cover. Bake in a preheated 400F oven for about a half hour. And it is done.

About 9 points a serving! Healthy, tasty and yummy!
