Cheesy White Bean and Tomato Bake

This cheesy white bean tomato bake is a perfect meatless meal the whole family will love. And it's so easy to make. Cannellini beans, garlic, onions, tomatoes, cheese and some Italian herbs is all you need for this back-to-school dinner.

Mexican Stuffed Pepper Casserole

This "dump-it" vegetarian Stuffed Pepper Casserole is made with a Mexican twist. It includes taco seasoning, black beans and corn, and the stuffed peppers are topped with cilantro (or parsley), sour cream and avocado.

There's only about 15 minutes of prep before covering this stovetop casserole for a 30 minute simmer. The rice cooks in the casserole, making this a one-pot meal!
