Black Beans and Rice Recipe

Wonderful recipe! I decided to add diced tomatoes and extra garlic, which made it even more delicious. It's a fantastic filling for tortillas! Even my husband, who usually prefers meat, loved it!

I am giving this recipe a 4-star rating as written, but with a few tweaks, it easily becomes a 5-star dish! I made some adjustments by using 1 tsp of granulated garlic instead of 2 cloves, chicken broth instead of vegetable broth, and added 2 tsp of cumin. I also only used 1 can of black beans, while adding 1 can of drained corn and 1 can of undrained Rotel tomatoes. My husband absolutely loved it and requested that it become a regular part of our meal rotation. We enjoyed it in burritos, quesadillas, and on its own. I even turned some of the leftovers into a tasty soup by adding extra chicken broth. This versatile mixture can also be used on nachos or combined with chicken and cheese for a delicious casserole. I suggest adding cheese and/or sour cream as tasty complements. In the future, I plan to reduce the cayenne to 1/8 tsp as the Rotel provides enough spice for my liking, and include 2 cans of beans (black, pinto, or kidney beans would all be great choices).

I was able to make this dish even faster by using my power pressure cooker. I sautéed onions, garlic, and rice before adding in all the other ingredients into the inner pot. I made sure to use regular long grain rice as I'm not a fan of instant rice. Then, I set it on the Rice button for 7 minutes on high pressure, did a quick release, stirred, and served. The result was absolutely perfect!

I made a few tweaks to the recipe. Instead of using 3 cups of black beans, I only added one 15-ounce can as I felt that would be enough for us. I decided to skip the cayenne and cumin and instead included a 10-ounce can of diced tomatoes with green chilies, lime juice, and cilantro to avoid making it too spicy. However, it turned out a bit too hot for my liking. I also threw in some chopped shrimp that I had on hand. While my husband enjoyed it, he preferred it with some extra salsa for added kick. I served the dish with sour cream on a low carb tortilla, and my husband liked it so much that he went back for seconds!

I made a few adjustments to this recipe and it turned out great! I swapped the broth for a can of tomato soup and added extra garlic. Instead of using a stock pot on the stove, I opted for my electric pressure cooker. I started by sautéing on high mode and then switched to pressure cooker rice mode. After letting it vent naturally, I stirred in the beans and spices on keep warm mode. This recipe is simple and adaptable, highly recommend trying it out.

I found this recipe to be quite straightforward. I decided to enhance the flavors by incorporating paprika and turmeric along with the onions and garlic. I accidentally left it uncovered, resulting in the need to pour in extra broth. To top it off, I melted some cheddar cheese on top and garnished it with a dash of green onions.

This recipe definitely required some adjustments, but it turned out really delicious and was incredibly easy to prepare. (I've already indulged in three servings of it today, lol.) I didn't have an onion, so I used green onions instead. I sautéed the thinly sliced white parts of the green onions in olive oil with jarred garlic. Since I didn't have enough onions, I improvised by making Lipton onion soup, skimming off the onions from the top, and adding them to the sautéed onions in the pan. I then added the rice to coat, poured in one cup of chicken bone broth and half of the Lipton onion soup mix, brought it to a boil, and followed the rest of the recipe as directed. I also added some turmeric at the end. It definitely needed more salt. For the first bowl, I topped it with a bit of Sriracha and green onions. In the second bowl, I added butter and salt, and in the third bowl, I kept it simple with just salt and green onions. Despite my ingredient substitutions, this dish is versatile and allows for personalization. It's a great option if you're on a tight budget and need to work with what you have on hand. Overall, very tasty!

Great recipe as is, but I decided to put my own twist on it. I browned a pound of ground beef with taco seasoning separately. I also added green pepper to the onion mixture. Once the rice was cooked, I combined it with the ground beef, a small can of corn, and a small can of diced tomatoes. I served it with cheese, sour cream, and a side of nacho chips or taco shells. Delicious!

Lacking essential seasoning, this dish fell flat. I also added sauteed celery and carrots, and used chicken broth for more flavor, yet it still ended up tasting bland and unappetizing.

Delicious and simple! I would have given it 5 stars, but I made some adjustments. Following recommendations from others, I used 1 can of black beans, 1 can of corn (both drained), and 1 can of Rotel tomatoes (undrained). I added 1/8 tsp of cayenne and cumin to the rice while it cooked. I'm thankful for discovering this recipe as I had limited ingredients and didn't feel like going to the store!

I cooked some Italian sausage in a pan, then combined it with the rest of the ingredients in my Instant Pot. I added the black beans towards the end of the cooking process. Absolutely delicious!

This recipe was lacking sodium, so I decided to enhance it by adding a packet of sazon. I increased the amount of garlic and cayenne pepper, and substituted vegetable broth with chicken broth since I'm not a vegetarian. I needed to add some extra spice for my personal taste preferences. Overall, it was a simple recipe to make. Thanks for sharing it.

Great product!

This recipe has become a regular go-to in my dinner menu! It's simple, tasty, and healthy!

I decided to make this recipe for a family lunch, especially considering my diabetic grandmother's dietary needs. Everyone loved it and commented on how delicious the flavors were. I made a few adjustments by adding ginger, celery, turnip, carrots, avocado, tomato, green onion, and red kidney beans instead of black beans. The dish turned out fantastic, and I highly recommend it!

I decided to increase the amount of rice in the recipe, and also included Sazon, cayenne pepper, and garlic for extra flavor. After cooking it, I mixed in some cooked, shredded chicken. The result was absolutely delicious! Thank you very much!

Review Revamped: Unfortunately, my onion had seen better days, so I left it out. Running out of cayenne was a hiccup, but I spruced things up with some piri piri instead. Opting for whole seed wild cumin over ground added a burst of flavor. I threw in some sliced sweet Italian sausage for protein and finely chopped green pepper for an extra kick. Overall, a delicious twist to the recipe!

The dish was decent on its own, but needed a little something extra, so I decided to mix in a can of Margret Holmes succotash of corn, tomatoes, and okra, which elevated the flavors. I especially appreciated how quickly this meal came together.

Straightforward yet tasty. I enhanced it with some fresh pico de gallo, which really elevated the flavors.

I fried some diced kielbasa separately and then mixed it in with the beans.
