This is one our family's favorite pinto bean recipes. This is Jared's creation. He made it all by himself.

Ingredients:

• 4 cups cooked rice


• 4 cups refried beans (two 16 oz. cans)


• 6 eggs


• 3/8 cup wheat flour


• 1 small can of green chilis


• 2-3 cups cheese

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Layer 1 Spread approximately 4 cups of cooked rice on the bottom of a 8" x 11" baking dish. You can use the quick and easy rice or the zucchini rice.

Layer 2 Next spread approximately 4 cups of refried beans on top of the rice. You can use homemade pinto beans or refried pinto beans from a can.

Layer 3 Mix the eggs, flour, and green chilies together and pour the mixture over the beans.

Layer 4 Sprinkle the cheese on top of the egg mixture.

Bake uncovered for 30 minutes.

Optional - Sprinkle diced fresh tomatoes on top of the casserole when it comes out of the oven.
