Rice and Beans...

I love rice and beans because growing up my mom would make it for us all the time. It works as a great side dish with chicken or you could make it more of a main dish with lots of vegetables. I decided to break out the rice cooker yesterday to attempt to recreate a childhood favorite.

Here is the recipe for some simple rice and beans:

Ingredients

• Olive Oil (to coat the bottom of the pan)
• 3-4 cups White or Brown Rice (depending on the number of servings you would like)
• 1-2 cans Black Beans
• Water
• Minced Garlic to taste
• 2 packets Goya Seasoning
• Salt and Pepper

After coating the bottom of the pan add the ingredients, stir, and start your cooker.
I suggest stirring at least once to make sure the beans don't settle at the bottom.

I made one big mistake while making this, I added too much water and it turned out soggy :( Next time it will turn out better though!
