INSTRUCTIONS
Saute onions, carrots, celery, parsley, basil, oregano, and garlic in olive oil until onions are golden. Add tomatoes, beans, rice, salt, pepper, and half the cheese. Mix gently but well. Put in 5 greased 9"x13" baking dishes (4 qt capacity). Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Cover and bake at 350F until thoroughly heated [about 30 minutes].
