I have three hungry boys in my house, so dinners need to be quick and filling, and it helps to get in some veggies, too. This one is a favorite because it's hearty and fun to tweak with different ingredients. —Kim Van Dunk, Caldwell, New Jersey

Ingredients

3/4 cup uncooked long grain rice
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
1-1/2 cups water
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 large sweet potato, peeled and diced
1 medium red onion, finely chopped
4 cups chopped fresh kale (tough stems removed)
1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
Optional: Lime wedges and additional sweet chili sauce

Directions

Place rice, garlic salt and water in a large saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, until water is absorbed and rice is tender, 15-20 minutes. Remove from heat; let stand 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat; saute sweet potato 8 minutes. Add onion; cook and stir until potato is tender, 4-6 minutes. Add kale; cook and stir until tender, 3-5 minutes. Stir in beans; heat through.
Gently stir 2 tablespoons chili sauce and remaining oil into rice; add to potato mixture. If desired, serve with lime wedges and additional chili sauce.

Health Tip: Sweet potato + kale + black beans = nearly 1/3 of the daily value for fiber per serving!
