    Yeah! I have a recipe for Baked Mexican Casserole from an Everything Vegan cookbook that I think is pretty good:

    1 15-ounce can black beans
    3/4 cup salsa
    2 teaspoons chili powder
    1 teaspoon cumin
    1/2 cup corn kernels
    2 cups rice, cooked
    1/2 cup grated vegan cheese (optional - I just use regular cheese)
    1/3 cup sliced black olives (optional)

    1. Preheat oven to 350°F.

    2. Combine the beans, salsa, chili powder, and cumin in a large pot over low heat, and partially mash beans with a large fork.

    3. Remove from heat and stir in corn and rice. Transfer to a casserole dish.

    4. Top with cheese and sliced olives and bake for 20 minutes.

    ...It's really filling, the only downside is that it has a lot of sodium. It lasts a few days so I can pre-pack it for lunch a few days ahead of time.
