Bean Loaf

Tom's Bean Loaf (I made it up as I went along)

6 oz canned kidney beans
1 cup cooked brown rice
finely chopped vegetables
garlic (lots)
3 tbsp Country-style dijon mustard (I used Grey Poupon -- don't know if
other brands exist)
2 tbsp molasses

Mash the beans into paste and add the mustard and molasses. Mix well.
You can chop up whatever vegetables you like -- I used onion, yellow,
red and green peppers, and celery. Once I'd chopped the vegetables, I
think I had about a cup of them. Chop up the garlic. I used about
half a head. Also note that the measurements on the mustard and
molasses are approximate. I judged the amounts of them I wanted by
the consistency of the paste rather than actually measuring them. I
am sure about the bean and rice measurements, though. Finally, I put
all the ingredients together and mixed them, sprayed a loaf pan with
non-stick spray, and put the whole thing in the oven at F 350. I
baked the thing for 45 minutes and it was still a bit juicier than I
wanted. You might want to try baking it for an hour. I poured some
mushroom gravy from a can over it and it was both tasty and hearty.
