Black Beans & Rice Recipe

It’s Mexican food week at Keeping the Castle and here’s another one of my favorite recipes, Black Beans & Rice. I just gotta warn you though, this is one of those recipes that tastes great but looks a little questionable. It smells good too.
You’ll need:
- black beans and rice package (I usually use Zatarain’s or Vigo brand.)
- 1 lb ground beef (can use less)
- 1/2 diced onion
- 1 can cream corn
- 1 can petite diced tomatoes
- fresh or dried cilantro
- 2 cloves minced garlic (or powdered garlic)
- 1 beef bouillon cube
- Adobo seasoning to taste
- Serve with sour cream, shredded cheese, and tortilla chips.
Brown ground beef and onions together, drain grease. Set aside. Cook black beans and rice according to directions on package. When rice is almost done, add remaining ingredients on list and stir. Continue cooking until hot throughout. I prefer to lower the temperature on mine and cook it for about 30 minutes so that the flavors mix together well.
This is an all-in-one dish. It has your protein and veggies all in one. It also tastes great reheated, although you may have to add a touch of water to it so that it’s not too thick.
Variations: For a meatless dish, omit the ground beef and use two bouillon cubes. You can use ground turkey instead of ground beef. You can substitute salsa for the tomatoes and cilantro.
Serve this dish with sour cream, shredded cheese, and tortilla chips.
Enjoy!
