Step 1

Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees F.  I like to prep all my ingredients ahead of time so it’s easier to put the meal together quickly.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add about two teaspoons olive oil.  Next, add in the soy chorizo and the onions.  Use a spatula to break apart the chorizo, if needed, and mix everything together.  Let chorizo and onions cook for about 3-5 minutes until the chorizo is starting to brown.

Step 3

Next, add in the bell peppers and garlic.  Give a good stir and let cook until peppers are starting to soften, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 4

Next, add in the tomatoes, rice, beans, marinara sauce, spices and salt and pepper.  Give everything a good mix and let cook until flavors are combined, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Add in half a cup of shredded cheese and all of your goat cheese and gently mix together.  If you’re not already using an oven safe pan, transfer your mixture to a baking dish.  Top with remaining half a cup of cheese and place in the oven.  Bake casserole until cheese is melted and mixture is warmed through, about 15 minutes.

Step 6

Let cool for a few minutes, add desired toppings and enjoy!  I like to eat casserole by itself or with a side of chips or a salad.
