I'm very disappointed with this dish. I would not call it Spicy, in fact we found it quite bland. I added extra onions and some garlic and it was still bland! Had great texture, and so much potential. I'll make this again, but with more tweeks.

I had to change this up just because I didn't have everything and took a few tips...drained and rinsed black beans, added a can of undrained garbanzos, added half small can of white corn, about 1/4 cup onion, 1/4 cup chopped green pepper and 2 cloves chopped fresh garlic. Drizzeld olive oil over and used a mix of grated jack cheese and crumbled Velveeta. It was so delicious!! I will also use leftovers in burritos. Thanks so much for sharing my husband loved it!

I love this recipe though I modify it quit a bit. First of all I use one can black beans and one can pinto. I drain the liquid from the pinto beans but use the black bean water in the recipe. Additionally I add a can of corn, one chopped red pepper and a chopped onion. Mixed together with the rice, cheese, green onion and olives this makes a great burrito filler!

Very very bland. I even added sauteed onions and garlic. Giving it 2 stars cause it might be good in a tortilla for tomorrow's supper.

Quick, easy, and cheap! I didn't add the cheese in order to make it healthier and it was just as tasty. Aslo, canned jalepenos work just fine when you don't have fresh ones on hand.

This tasted much better than expected! I made it just as written except that I used white rice instead of brown and doubled the cheese. I also mixed the rice in with the beans while baking it. This had a very unique flavor with the olives and the beans.

I made this recipe exactly as it read, and for my husband and I (who actually happen to be bean lovers), this was WAY overpowered by the beans. The heat and spices were good, but there are definitely several things I will change next time I make this. First of all, I will drain the beans. Not draining them left this way too soupy. I ended up putting it all in a pan on top of the stove to try to cook some of the liquid out (instead of baking it as the recipe reads.) Next time I think I will also trade one of the cans of beans for a can of corn (drained). I will also heat it on the stovetop again(for faster results) and then mix my cooked rice into the bean/corn mixture to make it more of a dirty rice dish. Then I'll add the cheese to the top at the end. All in all, the idea of this recipe was good, it just needed a little tweaking.

This was very good and so easy. I used quinoa instead of rice. I also subbed about 1/2 cup roasted green chiles for the jalapeno, and I used half red and half green chili powder. I'd add one or two more green onions next time.

Loved it. My wife, who likes "spicy, but not too spicy" said it was "very, very good." If I was just making it for myself, I'd kick it up a notch, but I tend to like very spicy.

I found it odd that the description had 3 kinds of beans but only black are mention in the recipe?? See following-- "Black, red, and pinto beans are baked with jalapeno peppers and spices, and then served atop hot brown rice."

Wonderful - my whole family loved it and we will definitely be having this again! Other than getting Jalapeno in my eye 20 min. after I made the dish, this was a hit.

This recipe was great! I read the reviews before cooking, so I added about twice the chili powder and cumin, and we left off the cheese at the end because we were using the beans in burritos. Excellent accompaniment to a good spiced chicken recipe!

This was a very good recipe, the only reason I am only giving it 3 stars was because I made a few changes. I used day old rice from the night before and put that in the bottom of the dish, then added rinsed and drained black beans, along with diced tomatoes with the juice and I added a little less than a 1/4 cup of water for more liquid. I cooked that for about 20 minutes then added onions and cheese. I will make this again with the changes I made.

This is a very good recipe! I followed the instructions as indicated with the exception of the black olives since I didn't have any. I replaced them with green olives. For those like me who like their food hot and spicy, this hits the spot. However, for those who like their food a bit milder tasting, I would suggest to skip the chili pepper in the black bean mixture. Next time, instead of using brown rice, I'll be using par-broiled rice. For some reason, brown rice doesn't appeal to my palate. Besides that, this recipe is quite good and I will definitely make it again.
