PORK, BLACK BEAN, AND RICE CASSEROLE
Hubby and I go grocery shopping only once a week because of the stay-at-home order due to the Coronavirus. We got lucky and found a 25-pound pork shoulder roast for $0.59 per pound! Though it's only the 2 of us at home, we could not pass up such a great bargain. We cut the roast up into 2-pound chunks and individually vacuum packed them with our FoodSaver. I made this with items in my pantry and it is filling and delicious.

Steps:
- Combine pork cubes, 1/2 cup water, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a Dutch oven. Cover and cook over medium heat for 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes.

Add onion and cook for 5 to 10 minutes more. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Tips:
- Choose lean pork: Opt for pork tenderloin or loin to keep the dish low in saturated fat.
- Use a variety of beans: In addition to black beans, try kidney beans, pinto beans, or chickpeas for a more colorful and flavorful casserole.
- Drain and rinse the beans: This helps to remove excess sodium and unwanted starches, resulting in a healthier dish.
- Use fresh salsa: Fresh salsa adds a vibrant flavor to the casserole. If using store-bought salsa, choose a low-sodium variety.
- Don't overcook the pork: Overcooked pork can become tough and dry. Cook it until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit (63 degrees Celsius).
- Serve with healthy sides: Pair the casserole with a side salad, grilled vegetables, or whole-wheat bread to make it a complete and balanced meal.
