By: Linda Rindels

"After my dad had heart-trouble years ago, my mom adapted an old recipe to come up with this colorful all-in-one dish. It has been a favorite for a long time. Even our kids like it, and they can be quite picky! --Linda Rindels of Littleton, Colorado"

Ingredients

1 cup uncooked brown rice
1 (16 ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 large onion, chopped

1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chilies, undrained
