We suggest using white quinoa for this recipe because it's easy to find, fluffs up nicely and has a pleasing nutty flavor. You can make this recipe with other varieties (red, black, tri-color, yellow or purple), but the taste and texture may be slightly different.<\/p>

Absolutely. You can swap the black beans for kidney beans or chickpeas. The quinoa can be swapped for rice or orzo. The sharp Cheddar can be swapped with another great melting cheese, such as mozzarella, pepper jack or a plant-based variety.<\/p>" } } , { "@type": "Question", "name": "How should I store and reheat leftovers?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "
Let the casserole cool before adding it to an airtight container. Place it in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. Heating it in the microwave is the easiest. Check it after about a minute and give it a little more time as needed to reach the desired temperature. You can also heat it in a preheated oven at 325°F for 10 to 15 minutes.<\/p>" } } , { "@type": "Question", "name": "Can I freeze it?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "
Yes, you can. Make sure it's cool before adding it to labeled airtight containers. It will be good for up to 3 months. Just thaw it overnight in the refrigerator. It may take a little longer to reheat.<\/p>" } } , { "@type": "Question", "name": "What should I serve with Cheesy Black Bean & Quinoa Skillet Casserole?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "
As a meal, we would serve it with a salad—something refreshing like our Basic Green Salad with Vinaigrette<\/a>, Massaged Mustard Greens Salad<\/a> or Simplest Spinach Salad<\/a>. But this recipe is also great as a dip, in which case we would serve it with a basket of warm tortilla chips<\/a>.<\/p>"
