Black Bean and Rice Casserole

In a large bowl stir together 2 tbsp olive oil, 2 tsp garlic powder, 2 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (if using), 1 tsp salt, and 1 onion. Add to a Suvie pan and broil for 12 minutes. During the broil add 2 cans black beans to the now-empty bowl.

After the broil, add tomato paste to the Suvie pan and mix to incorporate. Add 1/2 cup broth to the pan and mix until well incorporated. Pour the mixture over the beans in the large bowl and stir to combine. Pour the beans back into the Suvie pan. Return pan to Suvie. Input cook settings and cook now or schedule. Suvie Cook Settings: Bottom Zone: Slow Cook on High, 2 hours

Add 1 cup rice to the Suvie rice pot (black handles). Cover pot with lid and place pot in the Suvie Starch Cooker, ensuring pot is centered on the hot plate. Enter cook settings, and cook now or schedule. Suvie Starch Cooker Settings: Rice, Long Grain, 1 Cup

Remove beans from Suvie and sprinkle evenly with cheese. Return beans to your Suvie and broil until cheese is melted and starting to brown, about 7 minutes.

Fluff rice and divide between plates, top with beans and serve with chips, guacamole, salsa, sour cream or anything else you have on hand.
