Steps
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly spray a 9 x 12 baking dish with oil.
- In a medium saucepan cook the quinoa with water or 1 ¾ cups broth according to package instructions; when cooked, fluff with a fork and set aside.

- Cover with foil and bake until hot the cheese is melted, about 20 to 25 minutes.

Notes

- Can use full can of black beans, if no other use for them
- After cooking, I like to remove foil and leave under the broiler for 1 to 2 min to brown cheese slightly.
