My wife is Catholic, so I get to find new recipes for fridays every
year. Here is one that we make throughout the year though:

South-of-the-Border-Pie
Better Homes & Gardens 11th Edition

1/2c. chopped onion (1 medium)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 to 2 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. ground cumin
1/4 tsp. salt
1 15 oz. can red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 1/2c. cooked brown rice (I use minute rice instead)
1 c. shredded cheddar cheese (4 oz.)
3/4 c. milk
2 beaten eggs

1. In a saucepan cook onion and garlic in hot oil till tender but not
brown. Stir in chili powder, cumin and salt. Cook 1 minute more, cool.
Stir in beans, cooked rice, cheese, milk and eggs.

2. Spray a 10 inch pie plate or quiche dish with nonstick spray. Spoon
mixture into pie plate. Bake, uncovered, in a 350 F oven about 25
minutes or till center is set. Let stand 10 minutes. If desired,
sprinkle with sweet pepper and serve with salsa. Makes 6 main-dish
servings.

We ususally melt a little extra cheese on top and serve with salsa and
sour cream.
