In my same mode of finding meals without the usual meats, this Chipotle Red Beans and Rice Casserole really fits the bill. The good thing about casseroles is that you throw a bunch of ingredients together, bake it, and waa la! Dinner!
So, how’s it taste?
Loved it, loved it, loved it! I have recently discovered how much I love adobo sauce. It’s like the spicy sister of regular barbecue sauce. Just a small amount brings such a nice taste to a dish. This recipe includes one chipotle chili and it packs some heat! I like to top off my serving with some cool sour cream to balance out the heat. The original recipe calls for topping the casserole with chile cheese corn chips. I left those out to save some calories, but I’d be curious to see what they add to the dish. Although I imagine they would get soggy for the leftovers. A definite thumbs up for this easy meal!
