I'm guessing at quantities here. It makes an 8x11 baking pan and a 3L casserole dish. At least it did last night.
Rice and Bean Casserole Amanda Style:
DO IN ADVANCE:
Cook at least one cup dried beans (black, black eye peas, or navy or kidney or a mix of these are what I've used). Drain and rinse.

Make a rice pot full of rice. It's ok if the rice is a little moist.

THEN:
Preheat oven to 400ish

Chop an onion and any veggies that suit your fancy.

Combine rice, onion and 2-3 "cans" of beans in your biggest bowl. You can also stir in a half cup of frozen corn or peas.

Fill baking pans and casserole dishes.

Top with sliced veggies (broccolli, summer squash, peppers, tomatoes all work nice).

Top that with cheese of choice if you wish.

Cook until the cheese is all melted and maybe a little browned (like on a pizza). It takes about 30 min.

My midwife recommends sprinkling with nutritional yeast right before serving.
