Betty's Spicy Southwestern Black Beans and Rice Recipe

[LuvLuvJesusAlways]

Is this a heavier version of this dish. I like the heavier, "meatier" versions. In other words, not soupy or having lots of crunchy vegitables. I love crunchy vegetables. I am just not looking for that in this dish.

Thanks

[bettyskitchen]

@LuvLuvJesusAlways This is not soupy at all, and, if you cook it according to instructions, it will be soft, but not mushy.

Hi Betty! I'm a vegetarian so I would use vegetable broth instead of the meat broth but I have yo ask you, we dont have black beans over here in the UK (Or at least any that I have found) can you tell me what kind of beans are Black beans? Is there another name for them? Thanks xx

[bettyskitchen]

@thephleblady Black beans are a distinct type of bean. If you can't find them, you may substitute kidney beans, red beans, or white beans in this recipe.

Betty, I want to try this and I have watched you do it several times. Here is my question. While you are cooking the ingredients I noticed what looks like a stick of butter in the rice. Is that what it is and should I add it to the rice? Thanks

[bettyskitchen]

@rockydog0 That is 1/2 stick butter that I cooked with the rice. It is optional, but makes the rice taste a little richer. Thanks for alerting me to the discrepancy!

Hi Betty, I love your recipe's! I was wondering, do you have a recipe for mexican style beans. Looking for something to serve with enchilada's. Thanks :)

[bettyskitchen]

@bbughtiful Actually, this recipe is probably the closest thing I have to Mexican beans--other than chili. I do have vegetarian chili.

--Betty :)

[dragonflychainsaw]

i haveeaten beans and rice my whole life since i am poor and southern but never black beans so i will give this a try

[bettyskitchen]

@dragonflychainsaw I hope you enjoy the black beans!

This is one of my all time favourite recipes from Betty, and if you haven't tried it yet... seriously.. you have to make it. Delicious simply doesn't describe it. I make this in my household now, at least once a week and sometimes more! It's so adaptable too, I've added beef strips on occasion, or pork shoulder pieces - it quickly becomes an entire meal and it just doesn't get any better than this. The combination of herbs & spices Betty uses in this just takes it to another level. YUMMY!

[bettyskitchen]

@slmaia Thanks for your great feedback, Delia! I really appreciate it!

--Betty :)

[Snaps4Life]

This looks delicious and definitely not as complicated as I thought it would be. Thanks for posting!

[jugrutha180]

thanks

[bettyskitchen]

@jugrutha180 Yes, it is called beef broth. I find it at my grocery store with soups.

[hyotang82]

is it ok to use cumin powder instead of cumin seeds powder..I am not sure it is same thing or not... :(

[bettyskitchen]

@hyotang82 Either one of them will be fine!

--Betty :)

[pghpeaches69]

looks soo good i love beans

[novaface]

That looks like a wonderful dinner! Like always :)

[cheryllovesrobert]

Looks great will be making it tonight. Thanks

[cheryllovesrobert]

Looks great will ge making it tonight. Thanks

[ownhomedog]

this recipe looks so good ~ could i substitute brown rice for the white, if so, do i use the same "one can rice to two cans liquid?" thanks

[bettyskitchen]

@ownhomedog Yes, you can substitute brown rice and it will be great! You can still use the ratio 1 can rice to 2 can liquid, but you may want to check the instructions on your bag of rice, and that will always be accurate for the type of rice used.

--Betty :).

[Chewycats]

Betty your so pretty i love how natural you make up looks!

[Pepsicarwash]

Do you think leaving the chili powder out (a few in my family can't handle spicy food of any sort) would alter the taste?

[bettyskitchen]

@Pepsicarwash Yes, it would alter the taste; it would be less spicy. It would still taste very good, and your family could eat it. The other ingredients make it very flavorful.

--Betty :)

[CornbreadLover]

[pwalpar]

[Anitaredhead1]

An exceptionally tasty dinner, Betty, Thanks - I see a very lovely picture on your fridge.

[Esunshine71]

is this a mushy rice!!

[SpankRamen2]

What I love about you, Betty, is that you create dishes that are tasty but suitable for those of us on the strictest of budgets.

I can eat like a Queen on a pauper's wages. LOL

[mintchococat]

This looks delicious!

[fezan84]

Mmm, looks good. I like how it seems as if the rice further absorbed the liquid from the black beans. Great as always, Betty -- thank you! =]

[TYOrder1]

betty you are so cute.

[maplepoon]

Thanks Betty for this recipe! I have all these ingredients in my pantry. This will be on my thanksgiving menu as a side dish in October!

[MrBoyuki]

Looks very good Betty! Could I use Red Kidney Beans instead of black beans?

[bettyskitchen]

@MrBoyuki Yes, I started to write in the recipe that you may substitute beans of your choice.

--Betty :)
