  • 3/4 cup uncooked regular long-grain white rice
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1 (15 or 15.5-oz.) can kidney beans, drained, rinsed
  • 1 (14.5-oz.) can diced tomatoes with basil, garlic and oregano, undrained
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

    Stir in all remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 15 to 20 minutes or until vegetables are tender and liquid is absorbed, stirring occasionally.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Summer squash including zucchini and yellow summer squash, is abundant during late summer. Pattypan, another summer squash, is a small round squash with a scalloped edge. Pale green when young, pattypan turns white when fully ripe. Any summer squash can be used in this recipe.
  • tip 2
    While the rice mixture is still piping hot, sprinkle it with finely shredded mozzarella.
  • tip 3
    Make a refreshing salad of crisp lettuce, sliced cucumbers and halved cherry tomatoes tossed with Italian vinaigrette. To drink, try an Italian red wine such as Valpolicella.
