Fiesta Rice and Vegetable Bake
2 cups low sodium organic vegetable broth (I did buy the organic low sodium because it only had 140g of sodium vs the 900g sodium in the swansons.)
1 cup long grain brown rice
16oz salsa
1 15oz can black beans
1 1/2 cups fresh brocoli (I lightly steamed mine first)
1 TB Taco seasoning

*This recipe has been updated from original post. (See comment section) I updated it to how I remember making it the first time and enjoyed it better. The difference is adding parmesan cheese to the main mixture.*
Combine broth and rice in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, 50minutes. When rice is done Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9" baking dish with non stick cooking spray. In a large bowl combine rice and all remaining ingredients except the shredded mexican cheese. Stir well. Spoon in to prepared dish and top with mexican blend cheese. Bake for 20 minutes.
**UPDATE--We had this the next day for lunch in a whole whet pita pocket. YUM! My parents made this the night after I posted it, and they all loved it too**

I made this again tonight, and something was different. I think as I reflect back, that I added parmesan cheese to the mixture before I baked it, at least 1/4-1/2 cup. So, if you don't add parmesan cheese to your mix, I would decrease the amount of salsa to 1 1/2 cups.
