Go for the Grains Casserole
Got this out of my current Light & Tasty Magazine -- the only substitution I made is to mix in 2 slices core cheese (I used a fat free american) after I took it out of the oven rather than putting low fat cheese on top. Came out great and made a TON! A whole 13X9 plan full.
Go for the Grains Casserole
5 medium carrots, thinly sliced
2 cups frozen corn, thawed
1 medium onion, diced
1 cup quick-cooking barley
1/2 cup bulgur
1/3 cup minced fresh parsley
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
3 cups vegetable broth
1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese (count points or substitute fat free or soy cheese for core)
In a large bowl, combine the carrots, corn, onion, barley, bulgur, parsley, salt
and pepper. Stir in broth and beans. Transfer to a 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking
dish coated with cooking spray. Cover and bake at 350° for 50-55 minutes or
until grains are tender, stirring once. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake, uncovered,
3-5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.
Yield: 10 servings.
