List of Ingredients




1 tablespoon olive oil
2 onions, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
1/2 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes (no salt added)
1/2 cup minced parsley
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 1/2 cups cooked brown rice
2 cups cooked wild rice
1 cup shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese


Recipe



Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil. Add the onions, celery and bell pepper; cook, stirring as needed, until softened, 5 - 6 minutes. Add the tomatoes, parsley, thyme and black pepper; bring to a boil. Stir in the rices; transfer to a 3-quart casserole. Cover with foil and bake 10 minutes; uncover and sprinkle with the cheese. Bake until the cheese is melted, about 3 minutes longer.
