Ingredients

  • 1 cup uncooked regular long-grain white rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 teaspoons oil
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, chopped (1 cup)
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper

  • 2
    Meanwhile, heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Add onion and garlic; cook about 5 minutes or until onion is tender, stirring frequently. Add bell pepper, oregano, salt and pepper; cook about 5 minutes or until bell pepper is crisp-tender, stirring frequently.
  • 3
    Add cooked rice, tomatoes, zucchini and kidney beans; mix well. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 5 to 8 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Remove from heat. Sprinkle with cheese. Cover; let stand 1 to 2 minutes or until cheese melts.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    One cup of frozen bell pepper and onion stir-fry mixture can be used in place of the onions and bell pepper. To ensure even cooking, cut up the larger pieces so the vegetables are all the same size.
  • tip 2
    Kidney beans are a good source of fiber and protein, and they contain iron. Combining the beans with vitamin C-rich bell peppers and tomatoes enhances the body's ability to absorb the iron.
  • tip 3
    Serve this meatless supper with hearty rolls and cottage cheese topped with fresh fruit.
