Southwest Vegetarian Bake - Weight Watchers Friendly

Step 1

In a large saucepan, bring rice and water to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 35-40 minutes or until tender.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the bean, corn, tomatoes, chilies, salsa, sour cream, 1 cup of the cheese, pepper and rice.

Step 3

Transfer to a shallow baking dish coated with non-stick spray. Sprinkle with onions and cilantro.

Step 4

Bake, uncovered at 350 degrees.

Step 5

Remove from oven, sprinkle with remaining cup of cheese and continue baking for another 10 minutes.

Step 6

Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

Step 7

Note: I didn't have the patience to wait for the rice to cook so I increased the water by 1/2 cup and the rice cooked in the oven.
