Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 2 (15-ounce) cans black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 large sweet potato, peeled and diced (about 2 cups or 10 oz)
- 1 cup salsa
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- 1 cup uncooked brown rice
- Topping ideas: extra salsa, avocado, cilantro sauce, hot sauce, etc.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
- In a microwave-safe glass, microwave the vegetable broth for 2 minutes, or until boiling. (Alternatively, you can bring this mixture to a boil on the stovetop.)
- While the broth is heating, evenly spread the black beans, sweet potatoes, salsa, and taco seasoning across a 9×13″ pan or casserole dish.
- Mix everything together until well combined, then spread the uncooked brown rice evenly on top.
- Once the broth mixture is boiling, carefully pour it evenly over the casserole. Use a spatula to press the rice into the mixture so it’s submerged.
- Cover the casserole dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake on the middle rack of the oven for 55- 60 minutes. The broth should be absorbed. If it looks like there is still liquid in the casserole dish, stir and continue to bake for 5-10 minutes until the broth is completely absorbed.
- After baking, remove the casserole from the oven and let it sit, covered, for a few minutes before serving.
- Add your favorite toppings and enjoy!
