Weight Watchers Mexican Beans and Rice Casserole Recipe. If you're looking for a vegetarian dish that's high protein, and low fat, this is a great option.
Prepare a 2 quart, glass baking dish by spraying with non-stick cooking spray.
Separate 2 tablespoons of the Mexican cheese and set aside for later.
In a large mixing bowl, add pinto beans, cooked brown rice, corn, Mexican cheese (minus the reserved 2 tablespoons), sour cream, scallions, green chile peppers, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to mix well.
Transfer mixture to prepared baking dish, and spread to an even layer.
In preheated oven, bake 30 minutes.
Remove casserole from the oven, and sprinkle the reserved 2 tablespoons of Mexican cheese on top.
Place casserole back in the oven and back approximately 10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and just starts to bubble.
Remove casserole from the oven, and let stand for 5 minutes.
Cut to 6 equals size pieces.
