Great recipe. I love the packaged version, but I'd say this is better. Crushed or diced tomatoes would probably be a little better since they would mix in better, but the flavor was great! Healthy and SO filling!

this recipe turned out pretty dry. i think if i made it again, i would add less rice. i dont care for big chunk tomatoes, so i chopped the stewed tomatoes. very easy recipe though. i served it with some shredded cheese and flour burritos.

I LOVED this! I changed it quite a bit though, I cut down on the tomatoes and added corn and a TINY dash of crushed red pepper flakes. I also Drained all of the canned goods and used that liquid to cook yellow saffron rice in the rice cooker. When everything else was done I threw it in the rice cooker and let it sit for a while. I then served it on a flower tortilla with some lettuce and sour cream. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!

It was good - nice and basic. I thought it seemed a bit on the plain side (maybe needs more spice like green peppers or something?). But it was quite good, definitely easy, and I will make it again.

This was ok. An easy way to make beans and rice a little healtheir by using the brown rice. I cooked my rice separately (using chicken broth) drained my black beans and added sharp cheddar cheese. I served this with spinach tortillas and mexican seasoned chicken breasts. My husband and daughter both liked the meal.

Not bad but made some additions, I used long grain brown rice, sauted the onion, garlic then added the rice, 1 cup chicken broth, tomatoes and simmered for 20 mins. Then added the other ingredients, including some green pepper and 2 tbsp of red chili flakes. We enjoyed this with some chicken enchiladas.

This was great. I used diced tomatoes with green pepper and onion because I had them. I also added some chili powder and cumin and a can of corn. Yummy went well with the Chicken Quesadillas I made. Thanks for the great easy side!

Very good and easy - eating it right now! I didn't have brown rice so I cut it down to one cup of uncooked white rice and cooked it seperately from the beans. I ran the stewed tomatoes through the food processor to reduce tomato chunks - I just don't like them - and added some chili powder, salt and cumin. Very good. Will make again. Thanks.

This is excellent!!! Just be advised that if you do use instant rice, just be sure to add some extra water. No big deal, especially if you like it creamy. I also used turkey keilbasa and you really can not tell the difference. Also, I used fresh garlic and I also added some chopped celery. To spice it up a bit with some flavor, I added some cayanne pepper and some ground cumin...YUM YUM YUM...The tomatoes I used came with onions, green peppers and celery in them. I would recommend that..ENJOY!

I liked this recipe. Only thing is it does need a bit more spice for my family...we like spice, but if you enjoy a nicely flavored black beans and rice with little to no "heat" you'll like this.

Good base recipe. I used 2 cloves minced garlic, added a small can of chopped green chiles, some cumin and chili powder, turned out great... still healthy, but with more flavor.

This is edible, I'll say that much, although the taste is bland. In addition to that, I followed the recipe exactly, and found that there was not nearly enough liquid to cook the rice. When I opened the lid of the pan at the end of the 5 minute cooking time, the rice and beans were dry, hard, and stuck to the bottom. I had to add a lot more water and simmer for a few more minutes. I made this as a side dish to go with tacos, but it isn't good enough to eat that way. I ended up putting some of it IN my taco which made it taste better - or maybe it was the sour cream, cheese, and other toppings that tasted good.

Great quick black beans & rice. I did not use the oregano, but did use a heaping tablespoon of ground cumin and chopped garlic instead of garlic powder. I did use the 1 1/2 cups of rice and it was not watery. I also used a 19oz. can of black beans, less tomato-y.
