-In a casserole dish, arrange your raw ingredients in layers.

-On the stove, warm the liquid, salsa, and seasonings.

-Pour the mixture into the dish, cover it, and bake for one hour.

The key to making the rice fluffy and soft is to boil just the correct amount of liquid before pouring it over the casserole.

 What if you have leftovers? Never leave leftovers out at room temperature for more than two hours(they will start to spoil). Stick them in the fridge as soon as possible.

You can reheat leftovers in the microwave, oven, or nonstick pan.

While this Southwestern Black Bean casserole is delicious, I like to garnish it with Avocado, Cilantro, and Vegan Chipotle Mayo. But you can top it with anything you prefer. It would go well with some homemade Salsa, Avocado fries, or even more Chips and Guacamole.

Question and Answers

What is a Casserole Exactly?

Clearing up a Confusing Term. Is it a stew, baked good, or casserole the same thing? Casserole is one food word that generates a lot of confusion. We're clearing things up. So that everyone understands precisely what a casserole is and is not

A casserole is considered mostly a one pot-dish. It usually contains a protein such as beef, chicken, fish, or beans, along with a variety of vegetables and some carbohydrates; commonly, this starch comes in the form of pasta, potatoes, rice, or flour to bind the meal and keep it wet and sliceable.

A stew is more like a thick soup with chunks of meat, or beans and vegetables. You pour it into a soup dish and can't serve it in slices

A bakery good like a chocolate cake wouldn't be called a casserole.

What is gluten

Among other grains, wheat, barley, and rye contain the protein known as gluten. Numerous everyday foods and beverages( including pasta, cereal, and beer) contain gluten. Unfortunately for the gluten-intolerant, you can run across gluten in many consumer products, such as cosmetics, vitamins, and pharmaceuticals.

How do I know if I am gluten-intolerant?

If you become ill after consuming gluten, a protein, you might have gluten sensitivity. You can experience fatigue, nausea, or bloating.
