To make this Spicy Tofu and Bean Casserole, you will need the following ingredients:

- 1 block of firm tofu, drained and pressed
- 1 can of black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can of kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 onion, diced

- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1/4 cup of vegetable broth
- 1/4 cup of nutritional yeast

To start, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. In a large skillet, heat some oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and cook until it becomes translucent. Add the diced bell peppers and minced garlic and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Next, add the drained and pressed tofu to the skillet and break it up into small pieces with a spatula. Add the drained and rinsed black beans and kidney beans to the skillet and stir to combine.

Add the vegetable broth and nutritional yeast to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the mixture is heated through and the flavors have melded together.
Transfer the mixture to a casserole dish and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the top is golden brown and crispy. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
