Dixieland chow chow in a bowl of pintos and chedder cheese -- mmmmm.

Diced onion, chedder cheese, beans and that new smokey chipotle Tobasco is great on a tortilla.

Don't forget black-eyed peas. A bowl of black eyes peas seasoned with bacon, served over rice. Just as cheap as beans 2x as tasty.

Bean burgers -- plenty of recipes on the web.

Refried beans (add a drop or two of liquid smoke) on a tortilla with onions and tomatoes.

Rice is good with teryaki sauce and a handfull of peanuts thrown in the bowl.

Grab an apalachian cookbook, full of bean and rice recipes.


You can make tortillas in a cast iron skillet. Get a bag of flour while you can.

Bacon, onions, peppers, garlic with beans then just add the rice to it and bam awesome shit.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77115462


I like very much all those additives, so this is improving!

Is it possible to add the rice when the beans are nearly done and cook them together?
 Quoting: Pooka


No. You want the rice fluffy and the beans juicy. You have to ladle cooked beans over cooked rice.

The water proportion is wrong and you get soupy rice.

There is a vastamount of spices and ingredients in groceries since 1990. Our ancestors grew most things and dried,canned, and pickled them. When they ran out, then that was that until the harvest next year.

Taste is not as important as frugality and practiality.

To keep up morale, a dessert is ten times more important, and just having a little is what is vital to offset all the beans and rice.

If you've been following the news about food shortages and high prices just around the corner, you are wisely stocking food, including beans and rice.

I am doing the same, because beans and rice are cheap, though they won't be for long, and healthy, as well. I just can't stand beans.

So, please tell me your tricks, secrets, hints to make beans and rice actually enjoyable, instead of just a way not to starve.

Also, cook in beef tallow and/or butter.

You can also add various hot sauces if you like spicy.

Re: What will make beans & rice taste good? What are you stocking that you don't like? Tell us about it.
Plain beans are a disaster.

The trick is to soak them overnight, like grandma used to do, or use my modern method.

Put them in a pressure cooker (1-2 cup pinto beans to 3-4 cups water) and bring them barely up to pressure. Drain the water and rinse them well. Do this 3x. It removes the chemicals that will make you gassy, give you indigestion, and that make beans taste like crap.

Now, you are going to really cook them. Same ratio of water (add a teaspoon of salt), and bring the pressure cooker up to steam with the weight barely rocking (turn down the heat!) for about 45 minutes.

Drain them of the water, and add a good amount of butter... real butter not margarine... like 1/4 to 1/2 cup.
Now cook and stir them rapidly over a medium heat and mash them into refried beans.
These are the real thing... and they are called refritos.

Now take your 1 cup of rice, fry it in a skillet in olive oil till brown. Add about a half cup of chopped onion and a half cup of jalapeno' peppers, also chopped. Canned or fresh, either will do. Saute for a few minutes till onion is browned a bit,
Now add a small can of stewed tomatoes, a teaspoon of salt, two teaspoons of chili powder, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder. Stir well, and then add 2 cups water. Bring back to a boil, and cover tightly. Turn off the heat. Do not take off the lid. Steam for 15 minutes (no heat), remove lid and stir with a fork to fluff the rice. Put the lid back on for 5 minutes, and then the rice is perfectly done.

I like long grained Jasmine rice the best in this recipe.

There you go... my favorite meatless dinner for a lazy Sunday evening... refritos and Spanish rice. Costs about $2 bucks, and makes many servings,

By the way the leftovers get better the next day, and can be served with fried corn tortillas.

I was brought up in the Mojave desert, and this is how my Guatemalan auntie, and all the real Mexicans I knew fixed beans and rice. Fed many a hungry horde for almost zero pesos, and man they are delishimoso!!

That is about how we do it here.

I heard that if you add a whole large carrot to the cooker it will soak up much of the gassy compounds. Toss it out when the beans are done.

Don't know if it is true or not?

My basic bean recipe is a pound of beans and half an onion cut so it "blossoms" but stays in one piece for easy removal, three cups worth of bouillon cubes/powder/paste, and a pinch of chili powder. If I've got em I like to add a couple whole carrots and celery stalks, particularly if using chicken bouillon.
