Number Of Ingredients 12

1-1/2 pounds boneless pork, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
2 cans (4 ounces each) chopped green chiles
1 cup quick-cooking brown rice
1/4 cup water
2 to 3 tablespoons salsa
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Sliced jalapeno pepper, optional

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350°. In a large skillet, brown pork in oil; drain. Stir in the beans, soup, tomatoes, chiles, rice, water, salsa and cumin. Pour into an ungreased 2-qt. baking dish. Bake, uncovered, until bubbly, about 30 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese; let stand 5 minutes before serving. Freeze option: Sprinkle cheese over cooled unbaked casserole. Cover and freeze. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Remove from refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Preheat oven to 350°. Bake casserole as directed, increasing time as necessary to heat through and for a thermometer inserted in center to read 165°. If desired, serve with jalapeno slices.
