Rice and Black Beans (Rice Cooker)

Submitted by Phil Dosa

"A very simple, cheap, filling side or main dish. I make this in my dorm room, all my friends come running at the smell and are delighted at the taste. It costs me about $2.25 to make. For more heat, use Hot Ro-tel."

This is the easiest recipe and tastes the best. I cut out the chicken broth and didn't drain tomatoes. Then added water for the rest. I added chicken sausage with jalapena peppers. My husband raves about this recipe.

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this! We eat it quite often. I have also added cut up chicken breast, to make this a one pot meal. I love taking the leftovers for lunch, and it freezes well too!

This recipe is awesome! It is so easy and filling. I didn't have the Ro-tel tomatoes, so I used a can of diced tomatoes and added a roasted red bell pepper (from a jar) and a small home-roasted Poblano pepper. My husband and I love garlic, so I will add minced garlic next time and maybe some cumin. The recipe is great as is, though! My husband had 3 helpings. Wow! (Tomorrow we will eat the leftovers in tortilla shells for lunch. Can't wait!!) P.S. The fuzziness in the picture I posted is steam. I had just removed the lid. Mmmm!

FANTASTIC!! Very easy and you can do so many different things to it...adapt it and make it your own! I used Goya Black Bean Soup and instead of chicken stock I used all liquid from the Black Bean soup, Corn and tomatoes/green chilis (equaled 14 ozs); added a cube of chicken bouillon, some red pepper flakes, paprika and cumin. MMMMmmm...can't wait to see what they say at work tomorrow!! This is a keeper!! Thanks.

I loved this recipe and to me, it made much more than 4 servings, The only reason I didnt give it 5 stars is my husband thought it was a bit bland but in the recipes defense my husband is a junkfood junky despite his tiny waistline (grrrr) I served it up in some flour tortillas along with some refried beans, a little bit of cheese, avocado and lime! Delicious!
