This delicious recipe freezes really well.

1 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 cup diced onion
1 mild hot pepper, seeded and diced (Anaheim, banana or pasilla)
3 tsp minced garlic
1-1/2 cups dry brown rice
3-1/4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp thyme
2 cups cooked or canned red beans, drained

Heat oil in a large pan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sauté the onion, pepper and garlic until golden, about 4-5 minutes. Add the rice, broth and herbs.
