Kay, I'm not going to rate it, b/c I changed it alot, so I dont think my finished product turned out the same as the intended product. But it was still freaking awesome :) Cooked 1/2 can of black, and 1/2 can of red beans on stove over low simmer for about 30 min (w/ about 1/2 the juice from each can) with cayenne pepper (little more than a tablespoon) cumin (little less than recipe stated), 1/2 a can of green chilies (instead of jalapenos) and a couple of good dashes of garlic salt. After bout 30 min added some spicy sausage and let all that simmer for about another 10 min, then added the cooked rice and stired it all together. Served with Authentic Mexican Cornbread from this site. Yum :) nice and spicy

This was really good... I too drained about half of the liquid, but I later wished I'd kept all of the liquid because I personally don't like semi-dry beans and rice. But it was a very good recipe! The only other change I made was to omit the black olives because the hubby doesn't like them (oh, and I used two jalapenos from a can because I couldn't find fresh!). Thanks for the recipe!

Gosh I'm glad (most) everyone liked my dish!! Just wanted to add that lately I've been adding about a 1/2 cup of salsa to the beans before baking them---yummy! Bake it a little longer so its not too watery. Also, I've tried using chili beans (in the sauce); that works too.

this should please even bean-haters! I was helped by all the reviews; i ended up keeping just a little of the drained bean juice, I added garlic and extra green onion and put extra cheese on top. If you don't drain all the bean juice and you let it sit for any amount of time, the rice will absorb the juice. Cilantro as a garnish after it is cooked is nice also but not necessary. I mixed the beans and rice first before cooking also.

This was a great recipe and easy to follow too. I impressed everyone with this dish, and would probably make it even hotter next time! Might try draining some of the bean juice to lower the sodium a bit, and I thought it needed more like a cup of rice for the amount of beans there were...

This was pretty good but I ended up making them spicier by adding some green chili peppers, garlic, and onion powder. I drained and rinsed the beans, put them in a pot, cooked on top of the stove in a little beef bouillon, just didn't see need for the oven.

Wonderful dish. Can't wait to make this again. Served with a grilled chicken breast recipe from this site and loved every bite of both. I used canned jalapenos (about 2) and it was plenty spicy. And we like really spicy food. Also added more chedder cheese (I only had mild, instead of sharp). Next time I might add some fresh cilantro on top.

This is the ultimate desperation dinner--quick and easy with minimal clean-up. I used a mixture of black beans and kidney beans (do NOT drain the beans and bake uncovered) and added a healthy splash of red wine vinegar and three cloves minced garlic for a little extra flavor. It was still a bit bland for my taste, but that was easily remedied with some Tabasco. I only had Arborio rice, so the finished dish was quite creamy once I topped it with low-fat sour cream and cheddar cheese, but the texture and flavor were great! My picky husband was *impressed* and I had a really tasty dinner that provided enough left-overs for next day's lunch. Thanks for a great recipe!!

I drained the juice from the beans as suggested by other reviews-big mistake! The beans were too dry. The flavor was great! I loved them but I would say LEAVE THE JUICE!! This is definetely one of my favorite side dishes nad I will make many more times!

After reading the reviews, I drained most of the liquid from the beans. The whole family enjoyed this and my son thought it was excellent. He rarely likes anything I cook. I did add a cubed cooked chicken breast to make my hubby happy. Next time will add some more chicken and my son asked to add more black olives next time too. Thank you Amy for a great recipe.

I should have gone with my instincts. I thought it was strange to leave the beans UNDRAINED, but I followed the recipe anyway. It was terrible. It was incredibly watery. We tried straining it through a slatted spoon as we served it, but though this removed the excess liquid, it also strained away most of the spices, making it flavorless. We ate a few bites and chucked the rest.

Pretty good. I like mine a little spicier. Might add garlic next time and more hot stuff. Still reminded me of Texmex beans. Will make again for sure.

This was easy but I have to agree I did not think it was spicy at all. It would be good to serve with some type of spicy meat.

This dish is great if you like spicy. It goes great with chiken and steak as well. Or you can have it alone wth a nice salad. (Goes great with Greek salad). I like to add a bit of garlic to mine
