I made this recipe for a Spanish/Mexican/Halloween themed supper club and it turned out AMAZING! I halved the recipe and it was perfect for 15 ladies, we all brought a dish. Everyone loved it and requested the recipe. I did use 2 10oz cans of Rotel in place of the 14oz can of tomatos and chiles. (1 original & 1 mild It was perfect. Not too spicy for the more sensitive crowd. Will definitely make again.

next time i would try the chicken broth instead of water, i found this dish a little bland without it. great for stuffing into peppers and smothering with cheese though!

I made this with a couple of chipotle chiles in adobo sauce chopped and thrown in and a little chicken broth. It tastes AWESOME and is so easy.

i wanted to knock the sodium out of this recipe and maintain a very definitive rice texture so here's my approach.

2 cup of rice in a rice cooker...waiting
1 16oz package of organic black beans - done in a pressure cooker with 2 bay leaves 2 cloves of garlic and 8 cups of water

2 bell peppers
1 large pablano - i'm not a heat monger
1 medium jalapeno
5 cloves of garlic -mmm love garlic
26 ounces of crushed tomato - Pomi ..no salt added ..very low sodium
1/2 cup chicken stock - low sodium...
no water
..rest of the ingredients the same

followed the same recipe with 1/4 teaspon of salt added except rice wasn't added. let it simmer for 25minutes. finished with 1/2 lime fresh and 1/2 tbspn fresh cilantro for freshness.

added the rice at the end. SIMPLY DELICIOUS.

big flavor. To the people who say there is no flavor, i'm not sure why. between the olive oil, garlic, cumin, and green peppers there's tons. and 4 bay leaves to boot!

The only thing I did was substitute brown rice to make it healthier, and it didn't change the taste.

And the only other modification I had to make was adding more water. I cut this recipe in half and the rice was not cooked at first. So the next time I make this keeper, I'll probably double the water.

Awesome!

I almost didn't make this meal because it sounded "boring". This is the tastiest beans and rice dish I have ever had. I cut up a polish sausage, browned them in a skillet, and added them to the pot and they made it all the better! This is a meal in itself - full of flavor.

My sisters discovered this recipe last week and we've already made it twice! We followed the recipe as written except substituted brown rice for the white rice. It has lots of flavor and is quite filling. We served it with cheese nachos for a quick vegetarian lunch with toppings available (olives, green onions, salsa, cheese, sour cream as well as a side dish with chicken fajitas for dinner with friends. This is a great family recipe, economical and easy to make yet very delicious!
