Instead of using stewed tomatoes, I used a can of tomatoes with green chilies, added cumin and cayenne, used olive oil, added a little bit of chicken broth, and used already cooked leftover rice. Mixed the rice in after letting the sauce simmer for a little bit.

Good, but a little bland as-is. I used diced tomatoes with spices, added half a red pepper chopped with the onions, real garlic and brown minute rice. I served myself a small bowl as-is and then added cumin, chili powder, and a tsp chili peppers. Much more interesting, bit maybe lacking a bit of ground beef or something

I have made this a few times and it does taste good as is. However, I like to add a tablespoon of Italian salad dressing. I have used white rice and other whole grain rices. White rice cooks the same but I have cooked the rice separately and added it in the end as well.

Made this recipe for the first time tonight and it was really good and flavorful. The only thing I did different was use fresh garlic instead of the garlic powder and used a cup of cooked brown rice. It was quick and easy and will become a regular dinner.

Very Good! Except I made minor changes... Olive oil instead of Vegetable oil, I rinsed the beans and drained the tomatoes.

I made this yesterday, and thought it was pretty delicious. I used regular white rice instead of instant, since that's what we had on hand, and I pulled a can of diced tomatoes that actually already had garlic, oregano, and basil in it so it was an easy preparation. I also used a red onion, since that's all I had on hand, but it was still great. A lot of people say that the flavor is a little bland, which I agree, but I have a weird enjoying of certain types of bland food, so it didn't bother me much. I did add a packet of Sazon seasoning, 1/4 tsp of cayenne pepper and a dash of cumin, though, but I think 1/4 tsp was a little too much. I didn't actually need to add more liquid like others had to, so I guess that just depends on if your tomatoes and black beans are especially watery or not.

good base recipe. didn't have a ton of flavour - but since i was serving a spicy main dish that was alright. next time i'll definitely add some more flavour though. i also cooked the rice seperately and then added it in, seemed to work well that way. i also didn't add the bean liquid - there was plenty of liquid from the tomatos - but i can see how you'd need more if you're cooking the rice in there too.

I made the recipe with Rotel tomatoes and green chiles and doubled it. I am doing as much home cooking right now being unemployed and this is one of those fantastic economical dishes that can be dressed up or down and changed to suit individual tastes. I thought it was super easy and tasted fabulous.

This recipe is great. I didn’t mix the rice and beans, made beans separately. The only thing that I added was 1 T salsa to cut the sweetness of the stewed tomatoes. I served this with Salsa Chicken, from Faye on this site, and Lundberg Wild Blend rice (found in the organic section) with a dollop of sour cream. It was a great combo.

This was great. I did substitute garlic salt for powder, since it was what I had. Also, I made rice on the side rather than add instant. I added diced chicken breast as well, but think it would still be great without it. So healthy and yummy!

Great recipe using pantry staples for me! I modified slightly by adding cumin & chili powder and Ro-Tel instead of regular canned tomoatoes to give it a little kick. I also sprinkled some cheese on top since it wasn't the most appealing in appearance!! Great flavor!!

This is very easy and very good. I drained the beans, used petite diced tomatoes, used Uncle Ben's ready rice whole grain blend, and sprinkled some chili powder and cumin on it. A big "thumbs up" from my husband.

Strangely sweet. Expected more spice from it. Good, but very mild. Used cooked rice and fresh garlic. Drained beans too. (Un-drained?...eww!!)
