Vegetarian Rice Casserole

Recipe By : Weight Watchers - Simply the Best cookbook

5 Points Per Serving

I tried this last night and even my non-veggie family loved it! :-)

1 tablespoon olive oil 2 onions -- chopped

2 stalks celery -- chopped

1/2 green bell pepper -- seeded and chopped

1 can diced tomatoes (no salt added) -- (14.5 oz)

1/2 cup minced parsley

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

2 1/2 cups cooked brown rice

2 cups cooked wild rice

1 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese

Preheat the oven to 350º. In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil. Add the onions, celery and bell pepper; cook, stirring as needed, until softened, 5 - 6 minutes. Add the tomatoes, parsley, thyme and black pepper; bring to a boil. Stir in the rices; transfer to a 3-quart casserole. Cover with foil and bake 10 minutes; uncover and sprinkle with the cheese. Bake until the cheese is melted, about 3 minutes longer.

No serving size listed, I am guessing it Serves 5
