SPICY RED BEANS AND RICE
I guess I'm one of those women "who have moved from the country in body but not in heart"! Although I'm an attorney in a large city, my parents are ranchers. And, since they once grew rice, that's a staple of my cooking. Because of my busy schedule, I like dishes like this that can be easily reheated throughout the week. This was actually a soup recipe when I first found it. I needed a side dish, however, so I simply reduced the amount of water.

SPICY BLACK BEANS AND RICE
I like to use 3 differently colored bell peppers if I can, then I tell my youngest that we are having rainbow beans. I start the rice in my rice cooker before I start chopping veggies. They are a good way to use up those veggies in your fridge that need using! I like to chop enough veggies for several batches, then freeze them for future use.

- Use a flavorful rice: A good quality rice will make a big difference in the overall flavor of the dish. Look for a rice that is fluffy and flavorful, such as basmati or jasmine rice.
- Serve with your favorite toppings: This dish is delicious on its own, but you can also serve it with a variety of toppings, such as sour cream, salsa, guacamole, or cheese.
Conclusion:
Spicy beans and rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover beans. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
