Southwestern Beans and Rice

This low calorie dinner packs a lot of flavor. Another meatless main course I know but so quick and easy to make.

If it doesn't seem like enough food you can always add a couple of pieces of flat bread to add those extra calories.

Ingredients:

• 1 540ml can diced tomatoes (I use the spicy ones)
• 1 540ml can red kidney beans
• 12 white mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 cup uncooked brown rice (or you can use the uncle ben's stuff if your in a hurry)
• 4 tablespoons shredded cheddar cheese

Directions:

1. Cook rice according to package directions.
2. Heat olive oil over medium high heat, add mushrooms and sauté.
3. Combine mushrooms, kidney beans, tomatoes and rice in a pan and cook over medium heat until thickened, about 15-20 minutes.
4. Serve hot topped with one tablespoon cheddar cheese.
