This veggie-packed casserole hits the spot on chilly nights. It's a healthy canned vegetable recipe that's perfect anytime I have a taste for Mexican food with all the fixings. —Patricia Gale, Monticello, Illinois

Ingredients

3/4 cup uncooked brown rice
1-1/2 cups water
1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
1 can (11 ounces) Mexicorn, drained
1 can (10 ounces) diced tomatoes and green chiles
1 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
1 cup salsa
1 cup reduced-fat sour cream
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup chopped red onion
1 can (2-1/4 ounces) sliced ripe olives, drained
1 cup shredded reduced-fat Mexican cheese blend

Directions

In a small saucepan, bring rice and water to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, until rice is tender, 35-40 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350°. Place beans, corn, tomatoes, cheddar cheese and rice in a large bowl; stir in salsa, sour cream and pepper. Transfer to a shallow 2-1/2-qt. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle with onion and olives.
Bake, uncovered, 30 minutes. Sprinkle with Mexican cheese; bake, uncovered, until heated through and cheese is melted, 5-10 minutes longer. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
