Mexicali Casserole

1 cup raw rice
1 can, or one pound cooked kidney beans (or bean of choice), rinsed and drained
1 15 oz. can of corn, drained
1 28 oz can crushed tomatoes
1 diced onion
2 cups chicken broth
2 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. ground cumin
salt & pepper to taste
cheese, optional

Mix all ingredients in large casserole and bake (at 350 degrees), covered, for 1 hour or until rice is done.

Note: Can top with cheese the last five minutes of cooking or serve cheese as a topping when serving. I tend to not add cheese because I'm watching my weight, but my kids and husband like it, so I serve it on the side.

Macaroni and Cheese, Baked

Featured Recipe...

Hi there, I wanted to add a recipe that uses specific bakeware for optimal results. Of course, the FoldTuk isn't necessary for the recipe, but since I have found that it cooks faster and more evenly, I thought this particular recipe would be a neat contribution to your site.

Macaroni and Cheese

Ingredients:

1 medium sized box of Mueller Elbow Noodles
3 bags of cheese: 1 bag (4 oz.) Kraft shredded sharp cheddar, 1 bag (4 oz.) Kraft shredded mozzarella, 1 bag (4 oz.) Kraft shredded Colby-Jack cheese
3 large eggs, beaten
1 and 1/2 cups milk, approximately

Preparation:

Boil noodles, drain excess water, layer into 6-cup (1.42L) FoldTuk, or casserole dish (with cheese, noodles, cheese, noodles, cheese… etc.) Add milk, pouring evenly over entire dish. Pour eggs over the top of the dish. Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes or until browned on top.

Tater-Tot Casserole, Variation

Featured Recipe...

When I make the Tater-Tot Casserole, I add a can of green beans, a can of whole kernel corn, and about 1/4 tsp garlic powder - no cheese. I bake the tots ahead of time until they are crispy, then mix it all together and bake - the kids love it.

Thanks,
