  1. Such a yummy rice and bean dish. I added an extra teaspoon of chili powder and a light sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a little more spice. Very delicious and healthy too. Thanks for sharing this Dorothy.
     
  2. My family really enjoyed this dish. Especially my husband who usally doesn't give a favorably comment easily. I used black beans and they worked quit well. I also used chicken bouillion and left out the bay leaf and it still turned out great.
     
  3. This is a wonderful recipe! Absolutely deeeeelish!!! I used 3 jalapenos with the seeds and added a little more of the spices to give this a good kick. Excellent dinner for me with the protein, grains and veggies all in one. I didn't need anything else.
     
  4. This was SOOO good! However, I had to change it a little. I used 1 1/2 tsp of chili powder, guessed at the (dried) cilantro and (dried) parsley, bouillon cubes, 1 cup of chopped canned whole tomatoes, and 1/4 of a large white onion. Also, I don't know what my problem is with recipes and brown rice, but I had to add an additional cup of water and cook about 20 minutes longer. I topped with colby cheese and my husband ate it on a tortilla. Needless to say, we're very excited about the leftovers for lunch tomorrow. For us, this made enough for five bowls total.
     
  5. Great for mid-week. followed the recipe, except doubled the beans and used canned tomatoes, forgot the cilantro, used pickled jalepenos. next time i'll up the seasonings. Good comfort food.

Tweaks

  1. I really liked how easy this was to put together. I used black beans instead of red/pinto beans and skipped the bouillon as it didn't seem like it was needed. Everything was delicious and really flavourful! The grated carrots got lost in everything, so next time I'd just use mixed frozen vegetables. Thanks!
