Brown Rice Casserole image

This recipe is really versatile. It's easy to leave out the chicken or change up the vegetables. I usually leave out the chicken and serve it with salsa chicken or something similar. For the diced green chili peppers, use fire roasted if you can find them.

This casserole is a great way to use up leftover rice and vegetables. It's also a great make-ahead meal. I just pop it in the oven when I get home from work and dinner is ready in no time.
