I put rice and beans on a big bed of lettuce and add cheese, tomatoes plus salsa. We call it a taco salad.

We had 10 year old beans last night. I soaked them for 24 hours before cooking. Rice, onions, carrots, and dried split peas. If you want, cut up a hot dog or sprinkle on some cheese. Tina

Rice and beans are on our dinner rotation. My daughter always requested it. I serve it with cornbread.

Cabbage and tomato soup :) 2 cups water, 1 head of cabbage, 1 can 28-oz diced tomato, plus seasoning. I cook rice in a rice cooker :)

With the price of food rising rapidly, these are some great new ways to make over the same meal. Thank you!

I love rice and beans. They have been a budget saver for years.

Yes, we are big on rice and beans. Im Puerto Rican, so there are numerous ways we make it. ✌

I make a roasted garlic and pinto sandwich spread like hummus.

Tip from me! I cannot digest onion and husband cannot digest peppers. I chop up onions and peppers and put them in ziplock bags (at least overnight) in the freezer, and then take them out right before cooking. Much easier to digest :-D I usually have easier access to borlotti beans, those are delicious :-D

Spanish rice and refried beans is a staple for me growing up. Now I like using the fresh beans to make chili, smashed beans in eggs for breakfast. Some ideas and thanks for your videos.

Soup! A vegetable soup using rice, beans, corn, green beans, whatever is in the crisper with a chicken broth base. If you want a tomato base, think fagioli, with rice not pasta.

Both of those recipes look delicious 😋

Soak the brown rice then rinse . I make a breakfast a brown with Raisins, cinnamon , almond milk vanilla sweetened

I had stuffed peppers on the menu prior to watching your video....NOW I'm going to make your unstuffed idea using pinto beans that I have in my pantry! Thank you for sharing...

This video was inspiring to me 🤗

Jamie I love the 2 rice and beautiful recipes you are very creative love watching you 🌹💜💜♥️🌸❤️💕🌺💙💚🧡🇺🇸

It's funny, I can think of a dozen things, just off the top of my head, for rice dishes but only a couple of ways to use pinto beans. Beans and rice and bean soup. Well I guess there's bean salad too. But when using beans and rice together, it usually has a Mexican flavor. I really need to think of more ways to use these two items together. 😏 I love 15 bean soup and you can always amp it up with rice and I also like to add barley. But that doesn't really fit the protocol of this challenge. Way to get us thinking Jaime. And like I've said before, beans and rice are staples down here. Growing up my family would have a big pot of pinto beans. It's a great side dish and was often served with BBQ. And most BBQ restaurants (4 in my little town) that serve beans on the side. You've given us some good options and some food for thought. 😉 Thanks for sharing another great video! 🥰

That second dinner would have rocked w pasta instead of rice but both looked 👍🥰

This is perfect. Im trying to save money at the moment

I make spicy pinto beans over rice with cheese....use half a can of chipolte peppers in adobo, 2 cans rotel with lime and cilantro, pack of chili seasoning, dried cilantro, garlic powder, cumin. Typically blend all of the seasonings together and add to 1lb pinto beans with 4cups of water. It is the only way I will eat pinto beans outside of refried.

Rice or beans by itself has a complete amino acid profile for protein.

White bean soup

I like to cook the pintos longer and thicken the “juice” then serve them over cornbread. It might be a bit unconventional, but I can see no reason you could not add rice to the dish. I watched a video recently by “In the Kitchen With Momma Mel” where she used pinto beans to make bean cakes. She pretty much just thickened the cooked beans with flour and fried them into patties like potato pancakes. She made them into bean sandwiches (much like a black bean burger) and served them with fried potatoes. You could easily just exchange the potatoes for rice mixed with whatever flavorings your family likes-Italian, Mexican, etc.

is it possible to make rice and beans that are nightshade free (I have an intolerance to nightshades). So that means no tomatoes and no pepper/capsican.

You don't have to eat rice and beans in the same meal, but it's a good practice to eat them in the same day. Your body will extract the amino acids it needs from each one. That being said, it almost seems like they are meant to go together naturally. So many rice and bean recipes from around the world.

I like noodles

😋 🥘

👍👍👍👍

Dried beans, my only cooking failures. I only have an old school crock pot. Any tips?

I'm trying to survive 3 days with $6 dollars. Wish me luck. . . 😂 I am heavily invested in the markets at the moment and refuse to sell my assets. . . Will use rice and beans plus olive oil. 😅

Rocks!?

Why would you got her with your rice cooker when your instant pot takes half the time to cook?

Warning. You need to pick your beans . This means pour them out on a counter and pull out all rocks, burnt beans and broken beans. If you do not then you could end up with a BROKEN TOOTH! You will also end up with some cooked beans and some that are not cooked throughout and some that are mushy. I suggest you do not do just pour them out of the bag/jar and glance at them as she did. Be careful and dont look thru your beans the lazy way.

That's the most over cooked rice I've seen in my life

Tidy up before filming every area ...everything
