This is a great beans and rice dish. I did play with the seasoning some. I used 2 T. chili powder, 1 t. cayenne and doubled the cumin and oregano. Just right for me and my family's taste. I also used white rice, just because I didn't have any brown. But brown rice sounds like a good idea and will try that next time. Thanks secret. -
Yummy! I made it to go on top of Spicy Rice and Kale (Recipe #108785), which I make a lot in winter. I omitted Worcestershire sauce and parsley, but otherwise made as directed. Next time, I will cut back on cayenne and chili powder, as it was a bit spicy for my sensitive mouth. I also wanted it a bit more salty. -
My new Favorite recipe. Excellent!!! Used canned kidney beans in place of dry, reduced the amount of water used and the time cooked. Also eliminated the worcestershire sauce. I prefer sauteing the onion and garlic to release sweetness. The spicing as written was perfect to me. Am craving this stuff several times a week. Excellent. Thanks for sharing. -
This was easy to make and very satisfying. Made as directed except for reducing the salt by half and omitting the parsley (didn't have any... and frankly, wasn't too sure where/when to have added it anyway, since I didn't see it specified in the directions), and loved the results *except* for the heat factor. It was a little too spicy for us, and we're people who like heat. The next time I make this, I will try reducing the cayenne by half and perhaps the chili powder by 1/3. Thanks for sharing! -
It's a keeper ! I doubled and followed exactly except tor the parsley. DH loved it too. Thanks for the healthy keeper.

I made this last night for dinner becuase i was craving beans and rice. This hit the spot. I liked the recipe but found that there was not enough seasoning in it for my tastes so I added more salt and pepper at the end of cooking. I also used white rice instead of brown rice becuase that is just my prefereance. It turned out fine. Thanks!

Me and my boyfriend have been together for 11 years now. We live on 40 acres and have 6 dogs and 4 Tennessee Walkers. We both work a lot of hours so there is never enough time in a day to get everything done. I absolutely love the outdoors. I also enjoy lifting weights, reading and playing with all of my beautiful animals. I absolutely love, love and love to cook. I like to cook a variety of things and also like love to bake. I like to just get in the kitchen and experiment with different things. If something does not turn out for me such as pie crust or gravy I will keep trying until I can make it work. Only problem is, when I finally make it work it may not work again the time after that. It is fun though and I do consider myself a pretty good cook for the most part. I also love slow cooker recipes. Those are my most favorite in the winter months.
