What to do with all that leftover steamed rice from Chinese takeout? This is what I came up with one night. It's now an old standby for my family.

Ingredients
  • 2 (or more) cups cooked rice
  • 1 can black beans, drained (or I've used chili beans, S&W Santa Fe beans)
  • 1 can fire roasted chopped green chiles
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar (or I've used pepper jack if you want it hotter)

Directions
  1. In large bowl, combine cold coked rice, chiles, beans, and half cheese.
  2. Mix well
  3. Spread into greased 8x8 casserole
  4. Top with remaining cheese
  5. Bake in 350 degree oven for 30 to 35 min. (just till fully heated and cheese starts to bubble)
  6. Enjoy.
  7. Goes great with grilled chicken or steak.
  8. You got your veggie and starch in one side.

Sounds interesting...:)


Sounds a lot like what my wife and I used to make in our early (lean) married days. We would make something very similar, toss it on a soft tortilla, top it off with salsa and cilantro and call it a black bean tacos. I've got a craving now . . .

Thanks!


Perfect! Great Post!


And I don't know how I missed this one either! Saw you mention it on another rice and bean recipe, so considering how much I love your pollo, thought I better check it out! Love rice and always make enough for another meal. Thanks, GF!


What a great idea!!! I always just throw away the rice...next time I will try this! Thanks for posting it in my group! :)


Drooling here!


I made this for my hairy beast, and he refered to it as "filling." That's an excellent review from a man who can eat his own weight in food every day. Excellent! Five forks, baby!


Delicious and so quick and easy! I added some diced tomatoes with chilis in them (like ro-tel)...we ate this in warmed flour tortillas with sour cream....thanks JJ's Mom!!


And YES~~~ I used my quart of leftover steamed rice from Chinese take-out~! Perfect way to use it up!


Hey all, made this last night adding some salsa and using pinto beans and can of hot chiles - took a pic.


Wonderful!


Oh yeah...love it! like to add rotel, cheese and beans too!


Oh, yeah...this hits the spot. I always have leftover rice. Can't seem to stop cooking for an army. Must learn to scale things down, but with the recipe, I now have a credible second time around edible.
