My wife is Catholic, so I get to find new recipes for fridays every year. Here is one that we make throughout the year though:
South-of-the-Border-Pie Better Homes & Gardens 11th Edition
1-2c. chopped onion (1 medium) 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 Tbsp. olive oil 1 to 2 tsp. chili powder 1 tsp. ground cumin 1-4 tsp. salt 1 15 oz. can red kidney beans, rinsed and drained 1 1-2c. cooked brown rice (I use minute rice instead) 1 c. shredded cheddar cheese (4 oz.) 3-4 c. milk 2 beaten eggs
1. In a saucepan cook onion and garlic in hot oil till tender but not brown. Stir in chili powder, cumin and salt. Cook 1 minute more, cool. Stir in beans, cooked rice, cheese, milk and eggs.
2. Spray a 10 inch pie plate or quiche dish with nonstick spray. Spoon mixture into pie plate. Bake, uncovered, in a 350 F oven about 25 minutes or till center is set. Let stand 10 minutes. If desired, sprinkle with sweet pepper and serve with salsa. Makes 6 main-dish servings.
We ususally melt a little extra cheese on top and serve with salsa and sour cream. ---
