Please see my rating system. If you want people to use Goya sazon seasoning, please include it in the ingredients. It would help to list the preferred cooking temperature and the expected amount of time in the directions. This cannot be a classic black beans and rice recipe if no rice is listed an ingredient. For my taste, there was too much green pepper, although I enjoyed this combination very much. Also, I used 1 1/2 tablespoons Made for Spring 2013 Pick-A-Chef.
