Description
This simple baked rice and beans also mixed together vegetables and a spicy sauce. Brown rice is used here instead of white rice for more nutrition. This makes a bunch of food, enough to last you for lunch through two whole work weeks with a side of nuts, fruit, or protein.

Instructions
Cook Mode Off: Prevents screen dimming
- Preheat your oven to 400F. Heat a large Dutch oven over medium heat with olive oil. Cut your peppers, onions, and carrots into a small dice. Add salt, stir, cover, and cook for about 10 minutes, or until the peppers begin to soften and the onions start to turn translucent
- Add in garlic, diced green chilies, chipotle peppers in adobo, and your beans (not drained or rinsed). Any canned beans will work; I used a can each of kidney, pinto, and cannellini here. Bring to a boil over high heat, cover, and let cook for 10 minutes
- Add the rest of the ingredients to the pot, and stir to combine - brown rice, water, tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, chicken bouillon powder chili powder, cumin, and black pepper
- Transfer the pot to the oven, and bake at 400F for about 90 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender, the rice is soft, and the water is absorbed
- Divide into 10 servings. Add some acid to it after reheating, like lemon, lime, balsamic, or hot sauce
